June 2019 marked the tenth anniversary of the official end of the last recession. Illinois suffered a net loss of over 325,000 jobs during the recession. Since the recession, the Illinois economy experienced a much slower recovery than neighboring states or the nation. Illinois gained of 285,700 jobs between June 2009 and June 2019. However, there are almost 40,000 fewer jobs now than were lost during the recession. Downstate metros and rural counties were disproportionally impacted by job losses during the recession, with many continuing to lose jobs after the recession. Over half of Illinois’ counties had lower overall employment in June 2019 than at the end of the recession. ]]>

Manufacturing is an integral part of the Illinois economy. While it accounts for 12.1% of the State’s GDP and 7.8% of total employment, it also impacts many other sectors of the economy. Manufacturers also spend millions of dollars on goods and services from local suppliers, which in turn supports addiƟonal jobs and business sales. In addiƟon, manufacturing workers, as well as the employees of related suppliers, spend their earnings on food, housing, ransportaƟon, healthcare, entertainment, and other consumer goods in their communiƟes. When these factors are taken into account, manufacturing contributes 24.7% of Illinois’ total GDP and supports one in five jobs.]]>

The LaSalle County Mining Coalition and the Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers contracted with the Center for Governmental Studies (CGS) at Northern Illinois University to complete an analysis of the economic contribution of the LaSalle County mining industry. For the purposes of this analysis the mining industry was defined as the companies that mine and process construction aggregates (sand, gravel and crushed stone), industrial minerals (silica sand) and cement manufacturers, a primary consumer of aggregate materials produced in the area. The objective of the study is to define the contribution of the mining industry to the local economy. The mining industry has had a significant presence in the Illinois River Valley dating back to the early 19th century turning the area’s abundant natural resources into products used by the construction, transportation, energy and manufacturing sectors throughout the region and beyond. It also supports the local economy by purchasing goods and services from other local businesses, while spending by mining industry employees supports jobs and wages in housing, healthcare, personal services, and retail sectors.]]>

In April 2014, the North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG) contracted with the Center for Governmental Studies (CGS) at Northern Illinois University (NIU) to prepare a regional analysis for the six counties in North Central Illinois. The NCICG offers primary community development services including: Bureau, Grundy, LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam, and Stark counties. The objective of the regional analysis was to analyze demographic and business trends and characteristics of the region, and ultimately identify industry clusters, or concentrations of competing, complementary, and/or interdependent firms and industries which conduct business with each other and/or have common needs for talent, technology, and infrastructure. The CGS analysis of the region identified five high potential industry clusters. These clusters are compatible with the existing or proposed land use, zoning, and infrastructure capacity of the development area.]]>
