Comparing Illinois Economy to That of the Nation

From State Senator Sue Rezin:

Illinois economy recovering more slowly

Job seekers in Illinois are not keeping pace with those seeking work in other Midwestern states.

At 7 percent, the state’s unemployment rate in August is the 8th highest in the country, lagging behind the national unemployment rate of 5.2 percent.

Illinois payrolls are still missing 43 percent of jobs lost at the beginning of the pandemic.

The U of I Flash Index report for August showed Illinois tax receipts rose compared to the same month last year, while individual income tax revenues slightly declined.
