Springfield, IL -(Effingham Radio)- The latest Illinois unemployment report isn’t remarkable because of the jobless rate, but it is an important snapshot of the jobs picture in the state.
The new report, released yesterday by the Illinois Department of Employment Security, says the jobless rate in the state ticked up a tenth of a point to four-point-two percent.
The report also says the state has seen just three thousand jobs created each month in August, September, and October.
