Area Demographics

By: Diane Benjamin

What these 2 charts are saying:

FIVE of the area top 10 employers are government while the population isn’t growing. Since government only has money they take from the population, other employers can’t grow.

School test scores aren’t stellar while schools are “educating” fewer students with a lot more employees.

Remember when we were told Heartland would never need a campus? Now they are a top 10 employer.

State Farm employment continues to decline.

Health Care employment has dramatically grown as the population hasn’t. How much healthcare is subsidized by taxpayers?

Airport traffic is down, this year they will be taxing the entire county because they can.

The data presented is over a year old.

  1. Workforce and recruiting and colleges (Heartland, ISU and others) have become a farce promoting workforce dev then handing them jobs at local private and public orgs. Nothing new and it’s shows as there is a quiet $ partnership.

    Same consultants, L&D leaders, same families, same industries, mantras and system partnerships.

    HR and hiring is the biggest data and $ funnel in Illinois I. The name of innovation and jobs and growth.

    Taxpayers are generally the sacrificial lambs for this social engineering and project game.

  2. Time to start cutting government spending, government employee headcount, and reduce taxes.
