Black employment declined by 15.2%, while Hispanic employment declined by 8.4% and white employment declined by 7.3% when compared to February 2020. All told, Illinois payrolls were down by 495,800 workers, or 8.1%.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
