鈥淲eakness in new entity filings in late 2013 and early 2014 caused us to pause somewhat in our outlook,鈥 said economist Richard Wobbekind, executive director of the Leeds School鈥檚 Business Research Division. 鈥淏ut strong filings in subsequent months have reaffirmed healthy employment expectations for the rest of 2014.鈥
