Mid-market Perspectives: 2011 Report on America’s Economic Engine

An overwhelming majority – 93 percent – of mid-market companies expect the United States economy to grow after enduring the worst economic downturn in 80 years. However, ongoing concern about government debt and overall strength of the economy tempers their optimism.

These are among the findings highlighted in Mid-market Perspectives: 2011 Report on America’s Economic Engine, a Deloitte-commissioned survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The report provides insights into an important market segment that helps drive the U.S. economy. Respondents include 527 executives of private and public companies with annual revenues between $50 million and $1 billion. The analysis includes business metrics (pre-, mid- and postrecession), plans for the executives’ future outlook and what they view as potential obstacles to success.
