Illinois shed 7,600 jobs in Dec 2012, compared with a revised 14,500 job gains in Nov 2012.
Compared to Dec 2011, Illinois has added 41,900 jobs. The three-month moving average of
jobs, a more stable measure of labor market, was up by 3,400 jobs per month.
The Nation added 155,000 jobs at a rate of 0.12%, compared with a revised 161,000 job
gains in Nov 2012. The three-month moving average of jobs was up by 151,000 jobs per
month.
The Rest of the Midwest (RMW) shed 2,200 jobs in Dec at a rate of -0.01% after a revised
300 job gains in Nov. The three-month moving average was up by 5,800 jobs per month.
Since the beginning of the recession in Dec 2007, Illinois has posted negative job changes
31 times and positive job gains 29 times so far. The state of Illinois now has a net loss of
270,000 jobs since the beginning of the recession in December 2007.
Since January 2010, when Illinois employment growth resumed after the national recession,
Illinois has added 136,300 new jobs.
The 12-month-ahead job recovery forecasts show that the future recovery rates will increase
for sectors such as Trade, transportation & utilities, Financial activities, Professional &
business services and Leisure & hospitality. By Dec 2013, sector Other services is going to
shed more than three times the jobs which were lost during the recession period of Dec
2007-Dec 2009 while sectors such as Professional & business services and Leisure &
hospitality are likely to recover to their previous employment peak levels.
The shadow unemployment rates for Illinois, RMW and the Nation were 11.1%, 13.8% and
12.0%, compared to official unemployment rates of 8.7%, 7.3% and 7.8%.
Through Oct 2012, the cumulative job growth for Illinois, RMW and the Nation compared
to January 1990 stood at 8.53%, 10.94%, and 22.79%, respectively.

Unemployment Rate: Official and Shadow
The unemployment rate estimates the percentage of workers in the labor force who are currently
unemployed but who are seeking work. The labor force participation rate is the percentage of the
population 16 and older who are either working or actively seeking work. The participation rate has
declined since the 1990s and thus a number of analysts feel that the official unemployment rate does
not account for a larger number of people who have dropped out of the labor force. REAL has
estimated a shadow unemployment rate; this is calculated as the unemployment rate that would be
observed if labor force participation rates matched the average for the 15-year period from 1990 to
2004.


In the 1990s, the average participation rate was 68.2% in Illinois whereas in 2010, it has been
only 66.6%.
For the 15 years from 1990 to 2004, the average participation rate was 68.1% in Illinois.
In the 1990s in the US, the average participation rate was 65.5% whereas in 2010, it has been
66.0%; for the 15 years from 1990 to 2004, the average participation rate was 66.6%.
The figures on the next page show the difference between the official and shadow
unemployment rate for Illinois (top figure) and the US as a whole (bottom figure).
For Illinois since 2000, the gap between the official and shadow unemployment rate has
increased but recently since the early 2006 the gap has decreased. However, the gap has
increased significantly since 2008.
To bring the two together a further 165,700 jobs would need to be created in Illinois.
The gap at the national level is much smaller.

During the recession period of Dec 2007-Dec 2009, 8 out of 10
Illinois sectors experienced negative job growth. Education &
health and Government are the only 2 sectors that had positive
job growth during the recession.
Since Jan 2010, Illinois employment resumed. Manufacturing,
Trade, transportation & utilities, Financial activities, Professional
& business services and Leisure & hospitality have recovered
34.37%, 25.52%, 4.55%, 84.75%, 102.69%, respectively, from the
job lost during the recession.
However, Construction, Information and Other services
continued to lose jobs leading to negative recovery rates of 33.02%, -56.14% and -326.79% respectively.
The 12-month-ahead job recovery forecasts show that the future
recovery rates will increase for sectors such as Trade,
transportation & utilities, Financial activities, Professional &
business services and Leisure & hospitality.
For sectors such as Construction, Information and Other
services, they will continue to lose jobs with faster rates.
By Dec 2013, sector Other services is going to shed more than
three times the jobs which were lost during the recession period
of Dec 2007-Dec 2009 while sectors such as Professional &
business services and Leisure & hospitality are likely to recover to
their previous employment peak levels.

**Recovery rates are percentage of jobs added since the last official end of the recession.
*** Due to lag of data release schedule there is one month of time lag in the catch-up scenario for metro areas.
NOTE: The US Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Illinois Department of Employment Security changed the way national and state employment data are
coordinated to be more consistent. As a result, there have been some significant changes in estimates for Illinois over the past year.

CBAI INCREASED IN NOVEMBER
This index is based on national indices of leading indicators and is a barometer for the economy,
tracing the path of growth or contraction through to the current period and then forecasts up to 24
months into the future.

The Chicago Business Activity Index (CBAI) increased to 83.0 in November from 74.0 in October.
The rise is attributed mainly to the increase in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing employment
in both the U.S. and the Chicago region.

In November, the national and regional economy shared favorable features. The Federal Reserve
Board announced that total industrial (manufacturing) production rose 1.1% (1.1%) in November
after having decreased 0.7% (1.0%) in October. Capacity utilization in all industry
(manufacturing) increased to 78.4% (76.6%) in November from 77.7% (75.9%) in October.

The Chicago Fed reported that the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) increased to
+0.10 in November from -0.64 in October due to positive contributions of the production and
income category. In the Chicago region, manufacturing output, measured by the Chicago Fed
Midwest Manufacturing Index (CFMMI), increased 1.6% in November and was mainly attributed
by improvement of production in all four sectors: auto, steel, resource and machinery.
Employment in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing increased 0.19% and 0.11% respectively in
November while employment in construction decreased 3.74%. Retail sales are estimated to have
fallen 0.46% in November.

In the coming months, the national economy is likely to continue to maintain its bumpy recovery
trend. The CFNAI-MA3 suggests that growth in national economic activity was below its
historical trend. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that total nonfarm payroll employment
increased by 155,000 in December, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 7.8%.
Considering recent national economic conditions and movements of projected CBAI, the Chicago
economy is expected to continue its weak economic activities over the next several months.
