Cork firms say turnover up, but 60% resist staff pay hikes

Almost 60% of Cork Chamber member businesses have reported an increase in turnover but almost half are against the idea of paying their staff a living wage.

These are among the findings of the Chamber’s third quarterly economic trends survey this year, which is released this morning.

The survey, conducted during October, and reviewing activity over July, August, and September, found that 94% of respondents are positive about the future of their business.
