  • Midwest Struggles to Shake Off Rust
    Midwest Struggles To Shake Off Rust Chicago and Minneapolis prove diversified economies are the key to sustaining growth, while the Midwest’s overall dependence on manufacturing has caused the region to fall behind the national pace. January 2008 Midwest Struggles To Shake Off Rust By Dr. Peter Linneman, PhD Chief Economist, NAI Global Principal, Linneman Associates Ten years ago, the upper Midwest region had enough economic growth to almost shake off its distinction as part of the “Rust Belt.” Today economic growth in the region has once again fallen behind the nation and the culprit is clear: The region’s reliance on manufac- turing keeps pushing it back into the “Rust Belt” category. Manufacturing industries drive fluctuations in the region’s overall economic growth. As such, the region is more sensitive to global shifts in manufactured goods. Even as the country’s overall economy is rebounding, the six states in the upper Midwest--Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin--face significant challenges on several fronts such as increasing unemployment, job creation and a growing per capita income gap between metro and non-metropolitan areas. Beginning in 2000, more than half the cities in the region projected modest job growth and nearly a quarter of them did expand, but still a majority of the cities fell Manufacturing as a % of Total Employment (With Trendline) short of their expected job growth. These shortfalls reflect a tie between manufacturing and other industries. For example, business service firms in the region also underperformed because their clients are manufacturers. Even though the region may be trying to attract Percent other industries to build a more service-oriented economy, the reliance on manufacturing is still high.

Land Tenure in the United States With Special Reference to Illinois CHARLES LESLIE STEWART PREFACE This thesis is based largely upon United States census sta- tistics, the reliability of which is seldom questioned. Illinois is a suitable state in which to make a type study of land tenure. Its value for such a study arises from: (1) its size and importance in the production of grain; (2) the variety of conditions in its agricultural economy; (3) its location in the great farming region of the Mississippi valley; (4) the ease of access its farmers have to large local markets as well as to other domestic and to foreign markets; and (5) the fact that, agricul- turally, Illinois is neither an old nor a new state.

Connelly, former research assistant at the Institute of Government and Public Affairs, is research economist, U.S. Office of Management and Budget, Washington, D. C. 11 LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS « URBANA-CHAMPAIGN Both agriculture and industry are of fundamental importance. Geographically the State belongs neither to the North, South, East, nor West, but at a peculiar focal point of all four. The visual evidence of this is frequently missed by through-State motorists because a large portion of transcontinental traffic traverses only the Corn Belt. Even there the fusion of the industrial East and the agricultural West occasionally occurs where farmers' fields extend almost into the shadows of mine tipples and industrial plants. In latitude the agricultural economy shifts from Northern dairying through Midwestern corn-raising to Southern fruit-farming and cotton- growing. And at the lower tip of the State the heat of the South seeps up the Mississippi, ripening the crops a month earlier than elsewhere and slowing down the pace of human activity.

  • TAX FACTS: an ILLINOIS CHARTBOOK the Economy of Illinois by Maurice Scholten
    Taxpayers’TAXPAYERS’ Federation FEDERATION of Illinois OF ILLINOIS 70 73• 1 • 4 JanuaryJUNE 2017 2020 TAX FACTS: AN ILLINOIS CHARTBOOK The Economy of Illinois By Maurice Scholten This issue of Tax Facts updates the Economic Overview chapter of TFI’s publication, Tax Facts: An Illinois Chartbook. As data used to compare Illinois to other state becomes available, we will continue to publish updated chapters. (For example, the February 2020 Tax Facts was an update to Chapter 2, a comparative overview of Illinois’ overall tax structure) The Chartbook itself and this updated chapter further TFI’s goal of providing policymakers and the public with accurate and unbiased information, in an era when studies presenting data in ways that support a particular position are all too common. For example, in the interest of accuracy, the Chartbook: (1) combines state and local taxes; (2) uses gross state product to compare economic activity; and (3) presents data in bar charts to so that outlier status is easily visualized, and not merely state rankings. A few highlights: • A new chart on page 5 illustrates the stark economic impact of COVID-19 on the Illinois economy, by presenting changes in employment by sector between April 2019 and April 2020. • Illinois’ economy is the fifth largest in the country and dwarfs our neighboring states. • Over the last 20 years most sectors of our economy have grown in real dollars, although that growth has not always translated into job growth. • Illinois is one of only four states that has lost population in the last decade. • Illinoisans pay above average federal taxes, but the state sees below average federal spending.
