The DCEO says Illinois has made great strides. Our surrounding states have been below or at the national unemployment rate for a long time now. The writer should do research, Illinois is ranked 46th in unemployment in US. Hint, that’s a bad number. This is the best the LOL governor has. This is terrible news made to sound good.
