Illinois Getting Better and Better! Most Job Losses in the Country! rebelpundit August 25, 2011 Rebel Pundit More good news. The U.S. Department of Labor released new data last week showing Illinois was creating jobs in the so called “recovery”. However due to the overwhelming intelligence of the clowns in the state legislature and Governor Quinn’s tax hikes in January, jobs have been on a scary decline. Illinois’ unemployment rate is now at 9.5 percent and lost a whopping 24,900 jobs in July, and 89,000 since January according to the Bureau of Labor Studies report.H/T: Illinois Policy Institute Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
