NEW YORK CITY-Things must be getting better. More than 900 executives across the country are reporting that, having taken on more work in 2012, they're finally expecting fatter paychecks in 2013.

That's the upshot of locally based SelectLeaders' annual Hiring Trends Survey. In 2012, only 42% of respondents saw their salaries increase (and for 36%, it remained the same, with the remainder actually absorbing a decrease).

By contrast, for the year we just entered, base salaries and bonuses are expected to go up for 56% of the respondents, while 28% expect it to be flat and 16% will get a decrease.
