The Illinois Department of Employment Security expects farm jobs in its Economic Development Region 3, which is centered around Peoria and McLean counties, to grow from 6,811 jobs to 9,038 jobs between 2018 and 2028. The projection also anticipates a decline in non-farm jobs in that same period.
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.
