BUSINESS CONFIDENCE INDEX SURVEY |
|
Your Your input is needed! Since 2016 one the Chamber’s programs is our El Dorado Hills Business Confidence Survey. We opted to not survey in July because of the current economic circumstances. The survey is a five question, multiple choice survey to measure the level of optimism among local business leaders in the community and gives a subject of measure of where the economy is headed. This bi-annual survey asks local business owners and managers how they feel about the prospects on their companies in the year ahead and how they feel about local and national economics over the next 12 months. The survey produces valuable results, giving insight on the expected changes in employment, sales and profit among local businesses. The responses are aggregated and scored between zero and 100. A score over 50 indicates an overall optimism about the local economy. We have added a few questions regarding COVID-19 as well. Thank you for your time in completing this important survey.

We're proud to be a part of this coalition with CalChamber that helped to defeat Prop. 15: Proposition 15 was defeated by over 600,000 votes and California managed to avoid another landmine on the road to economic recovery. The initiative would have been the largest tax increase in state history, impacting small businesses, farmers, and consumers the most.
While Californians can breathe a deserved sigh of relief, the reprieve may be short-lived. The Legislative Analyst’s Office is expected to come out with an updated analysis of the status of the General Fund. The deficit may not be as bad as initially projected, but we do expect a deficit of some amount.
