Population loss, aging workforce threaten Illinois economy – Illinois Policy

Moody’s Analytics’ “State of Illinois Economic Forecast” outlines some of the state’s major challenges. But Illinois also has many strengths, such as its central location, a large pool of skilled workers, strong tourism and world-class universities, upon which is can build a stronger economy. Reforming  policies that undercut these advantages will help the state economy grow.

Well, at least the houses being slapped together for Section Eight recipients and illegals ( because we owe them that ) by illegals will be cleaned by other illegals and have perfectly manicured lawns maintained by illegals. Just change the name of this pukehole to Mexinois, make the state flag red, green, black and white to appease the protected class and be done with it. The Midwest is a punchbowl and IL is the turd floating in the middle of it.
