Business Leaders Study

Since 2007, the Siena Research Institute (SRI) has been conducting an annual survey of Upstate New York Business Leaders. The Business Leaders Study measures the perceptions that business leaders have of the current and future business conditions for Upstate New York including: business leaders’ confidence, expectations for revenues, profits, labor force and challenges for the year ahead.  Read more about the Business Leaders Study…

"Private sector employees across the nation share several common concerns including workforce shortages, the economy, and taxes. For over 15 years this poll has helped shaped our policy agenda in New York State and informed public officials as to the challenges facing business leaders. As the Chair of NASC I am eager to share this survey with my colleagues across the country so they too can use this tool as a way to improve the business climate and grow our economies all across the country."
