@Reckless. I have and so have others. I think the verdict will be passed by other posters on this site later in the day.

That would explain the lack of expansion then.

Reckless,
no I am not better off and don't see myself being better off that is
why I have started to search for greener pasture.
Apart from a few big companies and mostly foreign companies
the boost in confidence has not translated to a rise in good paying jobs
all I see are jobs for 800 to 900yen range and I have a family to feed, pay medical insurance
pension and car taxes etc, Please tell me how that makes me better off.
All I see is lack of administrative control and the manpower companies taking full advantage
and exploiting with slave wages. Tell me how a job from 10pm to 6am at 1250yen/per hour
without transport and I have to put fuel and drive 20kms one way to work everyday leaves
me any better than I was 4 years ago?

Abe's spin machine is already at work. Koike really beat him badly and this "Tankan" report is just smoke.

The Japanese people have seen no benefits. Abenomics is a big joke with money printing endangering the financial future of the nation. Abe knows nothing of economics as he's too focused on his family legacy, Constitional revision. The bigger the mountain, the deeper the valley.

Again with the 2020 BS.
I wonder if the people polled have been informed about Toshiba, Olympus, Takata, etc. etc.
Apparently the rampant fraudulent accounting does not affect people's confidence in Japanese business.
So be it - as long as we're happy when our company runs out of money because of fake accounting, right?

I will pray for Mr. Abe today at Yasukuni. He must succeed
Did he suddenly die in a fight or how come you pray for him at Yasukuni? :)

Just to add - that's even more of a 'no' from a foreigner's perspective. Things are slowly heating up here rather than problems being fixed.

Detecting some hardcore sarcasm from Mr Reckless above.
But assuming I can't read sarcasm (which is often the case here), and only because swearing is banned, I will answer with a resounding 'Hell NO!'

So blame the private sector, they're the ones who decided on those numbers, and they're also raking in record profits. The government is not paying the wages of combini clerks.
