St. Louis, Missouri, US (17 October 2012) -- A study released by Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO) shows an increase in many positive growth metrics of member businesses for the past six months with many predictions for the next six months. This study is being made available to the public as a reference point for local and global economic growth.

Data covered by this survey includes members’ answers about the last six months regarding the change in number of full-time employees, profit and revenue growth, and other metrics of business progress.

"We are excited to share this information with our community,” says local chapter president George John. “The majority of our members increased the number of full time employees in the last six months and expect that number to increase again in the coming six months. That kind of progress is a testament to the power of EO as a member-support organization and to the positive movement in the St. Louis economy.”
