Global CEOs and U.S. Small Business Owners Have Mixed Views on Job Growth in 2013

Business Wire
CEOs of NYSE-listed companies are twice as likely as U.S. small
business owners to expand their workforce in 2013, according to the
recently released NYSE Euronext 2012 CEO Report. More downbeat
compared to their optimistic large-company counterparts, two-thirds
of U.S. small business owners say they may not add jobs in 2013,
with some anticipating reductions in their workforce. Among report
respondents, 57% of CEOs and 53% of U.S. small business owners
believe that reducing tax rates on businesses would be the most
effective solution to accelerate the growth of permanent jobs.
The NYSE Euronext 2012 CEO Report, now in its 8th year, presents
the thinking of a diverse set of business leaders on the global
economy, business growth, job creation and the impact of the U.S.
elections.
“More than half of respondents believe that most private sector
job creation over the next three years will come from small
entrepreneurial companies,” said Duncan L. Niederauer, Chief
Executive Officer, NYSE Euronext. “However, more than 80% of U.S.
small business leaders said that lack of access to capital,
economic uncertainty and other burdens are having a significant
impact on their ability to create jobs.”
When asked about policy actions that would accelerate the growth
of permanent jobs, U.S. small business owners suggested increasing
funding for programs targeted to small businesses, tax credits for
hiring workers and providing incentives for the repatriation of
jobs. Participating CEOs of NYSE-listed companies suggested
reducing compliance-related regulation, providing tax incentives to
fund innovation efforts and spending to improve the nation’s
infrastructure.
Among survey respondents, approximately 25% of public company
CEOs also indicated their company currently has a program in place
to connect their business with startup, early stage or small
businesses in general.
Earlier this year, NYSE Euronext launched the NYSE Big
StartUpSM, a nationwide jobs growth initiative that connects
startups and small business entrepreneurs with Corporate America to
accelerate new business, funding and success. The program calls on
the nation’s corporate community to lend support, experience and
resources to startups and small businesses to improve procurement,
networking, business development, training, marketing and
information sharing.
“With the NYSE Big StartUp initiative, we also launched
Corporate Connections, an innovative and secure web-based platform
that enables startups to connect directly with large corporations,”
added Niederauer. “The web portal is an opportunity for large
companies to review and consider pre-screened startups for
potential new business opportunities and mentoring
relationships.”
Participating CEOs of NYSE-listed companies offered the
following advice for the next U.S. Administration:
- “The key priorities should be to
address our debt issues, our entitlement issues, and the increasing
bureaucratic chokehold on our economy. Real and permanent solutions
to these issues would unleash confidence in our economy and help it
grow.”
- “Invest in people, in education, in
innovation. Some traditional jobs are gone forever through
technological advances. We must adapt to thrive in this new
reality.”
U.S. small business owners provided the following input on
growth and job creation:
- “Stimulate internal job creation by
providing tax benefits for U.S. job creation, Incentivize banks to
lend to small businesses at special rates and aggressively.”
- “We must make it more attractive for
businesses to conduct operations in the USA. This means simplifying
the tax code, perhaps lowering tax rates, and making it far easier
to get qualified international workers to come to the U.S.”
The 2012 NYSE Euronext CEO Report, conducted this past July by
ORC International and presented in cooperation with FOX Business
Network, reflects the insights of 340 CEOs from companies listed on
NYSE Euronext markets from 26 countries and 285 U.S. small-business
owners. Complete results of the report are available at:
