Featured Research
Responses from the most recent Tennessee Business Leaders Survey are upbeat about Tennessee’s economy, with about two-thirds of respondents expecting Tennessee’s economy to improve more rapidly than the national economy over the next year. Business leaders were less pessimistic about inflation, with only 35.6% believing it’s here to stay. We summarize key themes that emerge in our Summer 2022 report.
