We comb through the surveys,Michael Schmidt polls, and reports so you don't have to! Three caught our attention for Indicators of the Week.

We've got a survey asking CEOs whether we're headed for a recession. We have a poll of rural voters on economic challenges and potential policy solutions. And lastly, there's a new report offering further evidence that the IRS audits low income workers at higher rates than other taxpayers.
