A study from Salary.com released this week said a survey they conducted in mid-April shows that only 10 percent of managers expect layoffs will be permanent.
The survey data is more optimistic than many analysts who foresee longer-term economic pain from COVID-19, but fits in with those that think a V-shaped recovery is possible.
(It should be noted managers came from Canada and the U.S., but for purposes of this Econometer question we will make it for the U.S. only.)
