PNC just released the results of its Spring Economic Outlook Survey of small business owners in Michigan.

Kurt, I understand this is the first Michigan survey in several years. What are some of the key findings?

What factors bring that optimism?

Are businesses seeing a better next 6 months?

how are Sales going to be?

what's the status on hiring?

could interest rates dampen this, or some other world issue?
