Illinois and Chicago Cranking out Jobs July 2, 2006

Did you know that Illinois added more jobs–23,100–in April than any other state in the nation? I was reading some economic data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics this weekend and am proud that Illinois has risen to the top (albeit likely for one month) as a job creation center. In April, Chicago added 13,300 jobs and this is the first month since January 1995 in which Illinois led the nation in monthly job growth. This has now brought to 43,600 the number of new jobs created in February, March and April.
