While CFOs are slightly less optimistic than a few months ago about both the economy and their own companies' finances, many expect to have an even tougher time finding good candidates to fill job openings.
That's our takeaway from the latest quarterly CFO survey by Financial Executives International and Baruch College.

A year ago, 24.3 percent answered the question that way.
Finding good candidates ranked way ahead of other challenges, including expense control and even regulatory issues.
