Dane County businesses that depend on local customers to buy their products are not as confident about adding to sales, profits and employees in 2006 as are companies that sell to a broader base, according to a new report.
The Dane County Economic Survey, released Wednesday, shows that 68.5 percent of companies with clients nationwide expect their earnings to rise next year. But among businesses that operate mainly in the Madison area, 51.8 percent are expecting higher profits in 2006.
