Illinois employers warned they would lay off more than 1,000 workers in the coming months, according to notices filed with Illinois regulators in February.

Accretive Health warned it would lay off 148 workers. The company said in January the layoffs are part of a broader restructuring in which positions will be moved from Chicago to other cities to be closer to clients. Accretive said then the layoffs could affect as many as 170 workers. The company employs about 600 people in the region.

How could metro Chicago not take a dive with its crime rate, winter weather and taxes?

This must be part of the miraculous Obama economic recovery the media are all telling us about.

Hardly unprecedented, one year ago, 415 healthcare insurance company workers lost their jobs at WPS in Madison WI alone.

Yep. Chicagostan has dragged the rest of IL down for years. Southern IL should be its own state. It’s completely different from the North.

That should get the unemployment rate below 5%

Cool...lot's of time for them to explore their inner poet, artist, spiritual quest, tuck their children in bed at night, live free from stress of having a job and be happy...

The only problem with that is guess who will end up supporting everyone who voted for Obama? (not that we aren't part way there already)

Sunshine and lollipops for all the soon to be unemployeder electorate in Illinois as far as the eye can see or climate change will allow.

Nah they’re either out making more dependents or playing phone tag with their 0 phones while eating “bridge card” munchies.

Cook County property taxes were due last week. Very painful to write that check after seeing the camera’s gentle focus on the welfare whiners and Rahm “Tiny Dancer” Emanuel in CNN’s Chicagoland mockumentary.

I wonder if Zer0 and Moochelle are counting on returning to Chicago after leaving the White House. The pitchfork and torch crowd are being mobilized as the layoffs continue.

My guess is Hawaii or possibly the south of France.

Today I talked to a guy who got the ax from Caterpillar based in Illinois.
Union worker who said jobs in Illinois are dying big time.
He’s looking at TX or NC as fast as possible

Same here in NJ; a few co-workers have left (not retired) for the Carolinas. If the Dems can’t “nationalize” their socialism to erase the differences in tax environments, Red (communist) states will continue bleeding electoral votes.
