The unemployment rate is down in Illinois, but so is the number of people working in most downstate cities. The latest jobless report from Springfield that came out yesterday showed most cities outside of Chicago and suburbs lost jobs between September of 2016 and last month. Bloomington-Normal added about 14-hundred jobs in the past year, but Champaign-Urbana, Decatur, Springfield, Peoria, and the Quad Cities all lost jobs. Illinois' statewide unemployment rate is four-point-six percent.
