More HUGE news for Illinois’ economy…The Chicago metro area reached a record number of jobs for the month of May, highlighting the strength and resilience of our regional economy. Even more exciting for those of us in Lake County: Lake County has now posted SIX consecutive months of year-over-year job growth. That’s a strong signal that our employers, workforce, and economic development partnerships are creating real momentum.
Behind every new job is a business investing, a worker finding opportunity, and a community growing stronger. Thanks to the many employers, workforce partners, educators, and local leaders working with us to make Lake County a place where businesses and talent continue to thrive. We’re excited to build on our work to create even more opportunities.
