The 2023 National Business Trends Survey is available for purchase! This national survey is run each year by Cascade in partnership with the Employer Associations of America (EAA), collecting executives’ feedback and thoughts on the current and upcoming business year and trends. This survey covers topics such as business outlooks, investment plans, staffing plans, recruitment challenges, pay strategies, and more.
