Survey: Manufacturer Optimism Spikes in Q4

Industry Week reported manufacturers are becoming more confident in the economy as we approach the end of 2012.
 
According to the report, the latest National Association of Manufacturers/IndustryWeek Survey of Manufacturers shows, 80.2% of NAM members responding to the survey have a positive outlook -- up from 65.4% in September 2011.

The Industry Week report states that while this measure is still below the 86.4% reading from June, it reflects a turnaround in confidence.
 
The report also indicates that even though uncertainties remain, particularly with regard to European sovereign debt, business confidence is clearly higher, which is boosting expectations for 2012.
