Policy reforms in Indiana have led to significant jobs growth, but lawmakers in the Land of Lincoln haven’t taken note.

Enjoy Life Foods relocates manufacturing and distribution facility from Chicago suburbs to Indiana.

The Land of Lincoln’s out-migration crisis is the most severe in the region and worsening over time.

Illinois’ slow economic growth, made worse by out-migration, needs to be addressed in order to tackle the state’s budgetary problems.

Every five minutes, Illinois loses a resident to another state.

An increasing number of younger adults are making up the exodus of taxpayers from the state.

BLS data show that Illinois had a net loss of 354,000 adults over the last decade from its prime working-age adult population (ages 25 to 54), with 290,000 of that loss attributable to migration rather than mortality. This is a troubling sign that indicates a weak economy – and the loss of adult taxpayers and their children.

In the majority of Illinois’ large cities, the number of people moving to another part of the country is greater than the combined gains from more births than deaths and international immigration.
