  • only 41% of managers expect their company’s net sales to increase – compared to 61% last year;
    the majority of the respondents believe that the problems causing the most headaches of the year will be the increased wage
  • costs due to inflation (71%) and higher operating costs (61%);
  • according to 62%, in response to a possible recession, their company will reassess its labor needs, half of the respondents will cut operating costs, and 48% may freeze hiring during the critical period;
  • 97% plan a wage increase – last year this rate was 83% – it is true, however, that the rate of the increase is again below the expectations of the workers and the rate of expected inflation.
