A survey of chief financial officers conducted by various institutions, including Duke University and the Atlanta Fed, reveals that companies are increasingly turning to automation to cut costs and improve quality control. The adoption of automation is driven by the desire to save on wage costs, with a majority of companies maintaining or slowing down hiring as a result. The survey also indicates a surge in revenue growth expectations and a rise in prices, while employment growth is expected to ease in the coming year.
