- The 12-month forecast shows that Illinois is likely to experience an employment increase of 7,900 jobs by December 2020. The greatest increase is likely to occur in Education & health (15,700 more jobs).
- The state of Illinois now has a net gain of 211,400 jobs since the beginning of the recession in December 2007. Given Illinois economic performance of late, recovery to the prior peak (adjusted for changes in labor force participation and population growth) recorded in 2000 within five years would seem feasible.

- Illinois gain 8,000 jobs in December 2019. The top-three sectors that gained jobs were o Leisure & hospitality (3,200 more jobs), Education & health (4,300 more jobs) and Information (400 more jobs). The sectors that lost jobs in December in Illinois were Manufacturing (900 less jobs), Trade, transportation & utilities (1,700 less jobs), and Financial activities (200 less jobs).
- In December, Illinois’s official unemployment rate was 3.7% while its shadow unemployment rate was 8.4%. To bring the two rates together, in other words bringing down shadow unemployment rate to 3.7%, another 300,800 jobs need to be created.
- The Nation added 145,000 jobs at a rate of 0.10% in December, compared with a revised 256,000-job gain in November 2019. There was a growth in three sectors, namely Construction (20,000 more jobs), Leisure & hospitality (40,000 more jobs), and Education & health (36,000 more jobs).
- The RMW gained 13,100 jobs in December after a 36,300-job loss in November 2019.
- The 12-month-ahead job recovery forecasts show that the future recovery rates in Illinois will decrease for every sector except Financial activities, Leisure & hospitality and Other services.

- Illinois Rural area gained 6,800 jobs at 0.91% this month, compared to a revised 5,700-job gain in November 2019. At the same time, Metro gained 1,200 jobs at 0.02% in December, compared to a revised 19,100-job loss in the previous month. Consequently, the 8,000-job gain in Illinois was mainly driven by positive performances in all areas.
- In Chicago, Education & health had the greatest monthly job-gain among all sectors (2,400 more jobs) in December, while Trade, transportation & utilities had the greatest decline (2,500 less jobs). Since the job recovery resumed in January 2010 in Illinois, Chicago has shown an average growth rate over the 2010-2019 period of 10.93%, which is the highest among all the IL MSAs; Bloomington-Normal has experienced the lowest average growth rate, -3.41%.
- The 12-month forecasts show that Chicago is likely to experience a 0.76% job loss by December 2020 (32,400 less jobs). The greatest 12-month growth in Chicago is likely to happen for Education & health (11,500 more jobs) but the greatest decline would be for Construction (7,000 less jobs).

- The Chicago Business Activity Index (CBAI) decreased to 93.1 in December from 94.6 in November. The decrease is mainly attributed to negative manufacturing and construction job growth.
See the full report (Released: 02/24/2020)
- According to the forecast for November 2020, Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Decatur, Rockford and Kankakee are likely to perform better over this period than Chicago. All the other MSAs will fare less well than Chicago.
