The best reason for businesses to locate in the Chicago area is the workforce – Daily Herald*

Professor Bob Bruno identifies many reasons business look to locate elsewhere -- including cheaper labor, lower taxes, cheaper land, tax credits -- but that reasoning is shortsighted, he said. "They've made a mistake. The most important component is going to be the quality of the labor because all of the value is going to be driven in the production process, and I think that gets overlooked."

The good component of the Illinois work force is planning to move or moving on to other states or just hanging on till they get their retirement.. Many of the ones that are left are the woke lunatics you wouldn’t want to hire.

Was this article written in crayons after smoking weed? There’s no data to support the conclusion that the Chicago labor force is “better”, it’s just his “observations”. It is absolutely laughable. This is 100% propaganda, and the simplest of minds will see right through it.

You’re right because if the labor force was more intelligent and on the ball they would not vote in the politicians that they do.
