New poll indicates that younger workers want to flee the state the most, and Illinois’ high-tax, anti-growth policies are encouraging them to do so.

August IDES report shows 22,000 people dropped out of the workforce, and 4,400 manufacturing jobs were lost.

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

Less than half of Illinois households are defined as middle class.

Every five minutes, Illinois loses a resident to another 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.
