Strong Illinois economy has been very good for business Posted March 24, 2024 5:02 am By Frank Manzo IV
Don’t tell the naysayers, but Illinois’ economy continues to remain strong.
We are America’s sixth-largest state and fifth-largest economy, now generating $1.1 trillion annually — more than 13 other states combined.
Indeed, according to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Illinois’ economy has expanded by $217 billion over the past five years. That’s more than all the goods and services produced every year in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alaska combined. Put simply, our businesses, workers, residents, and visitors have added the equivalent of three states to our economy in just five years.

That explains why business and people are flocking to Illinois.

Yeah, and my favorite places (restaurant and stores) on the Magnificent Mile are now closed and stores continue to be vandalized and held up.

Where do I sign up, ha ha.
So, I once estimated that it would take 3x my current at the time salary to more or less live the same way that I did then to live in ILL. Of course, this did not include concerns about traffic, crime, and so on.
No one would pay me that kind of money.

The gift that keeps on giving was putting Illinois in our rearview mirror back in 2002
Let’s get a vote on that from the peeps in Illinois
IL is 47th in population growth, and 31st in econ growth rate.
Who voted, I wonder, for Jay Prixter.
Sounds like someone has decided spout statistics and hope people confuse that with facts. I’ve little doubt that New York could publish an article just like this and make it sound even more impressive.
Illinois has a population of 13 million. The populations of Alaska, North Dakota, and South Dakota total less than 2.5 million, for one point of comparison. Great selection of comparators there, you “gaslighting jag bag.”
I’ll have what he’s having. Even from the southern tip of the state I can see it ain’t so.

That’s more than all the goods and services produced every year in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Alaska combined!
Lol
A better comparison would be to look at GDP per capita, and the rate of GDP growth vs other states. Illinois is doing fairly well, as it has a large economy to begin with and change costs are a big factor.
The individual tax burden, family reasons, and the fact that is snows are why people are leaving states like Illinois. Enjoy them, Texas, Florida, et al.
So it’s not bankrupt these days?
The next headline will be:
The San Francisco and Kalifornia Tent Economy Is Thriving.
People are flocking to Illinois over the yearly gas tax increases. Not one road in my area has been repaired.
