Population DistributionChicago‐Naperville‐Michigan City, IL‐IN‐WI Combined Statistical Area, 2012
• In addition to having the biggest share of the region’s population, the “Collar Counties” also account of much of its growth.
• Between 2000 and 2012, the population in “Collar Counties” increased by 18%, while the Chicago declined 6.3%.
• The “Collar Counties” are projected to grow by 6.4% from 2012 to 2016 while the City of Chicago and the rest of Cook County declines (1.9%).
• The balance of the region will see a modest increase (3.0%).

Projected
Population TrendsPercent Change by Age Group (1970 – 2020)
• Although the population in the region will continue to grow, especially in the “Collar Counties”, the aging of the population will present several challenges.
• The most important will be the growing demand for replacement workers as the “Baby Boomers” retire.
• While many older workers may continue working longer due to good health and financial necessity, a smaller number of young people entering the labor force will create shortages in many industries.

Cook County Collar Counties* Balance of CSA** State of Illinois
• After several decades of rapid income growth, the “Collar Counties” experienced a decline in per capita income, unlike Cook County or the State of Illinois.
• Although many factors contributed to the decline, including the past recession, an increase in poverty and a decline in proprietor (i.e. small business) income are of particular concern.
• A return to growth is projected, but per capita income will still lag behind the State, as well as rest of the region.

Recession
• The region is enduring the longest period of high unemployment since the 1980’s.
• Although unemployment rates have fallen since the recession, they remain at historically high levels and are still above the national average.
• The “collar counties” have generally experienced lower unemployment levels.

Employment Changes in RegionComparison of Chicago and Selected Suburban Communities
• Although most suburban communities have seen significant job growth since the end of the recession, some are continuing to struggle.
• The City of Chicago lost over 75,000 jobs in the past recession and is still experiencing net job losses.
• This is a cause for concern for the “Collar Counties” because Chicago is the primary employment center of the region and many suburban residents are employed in the City.

Opportunities for Job GrowthProfessional and Business Services
• Despite significant job losses during the recession, this sector has rebounded strongly adding 96,000 jobs since June 2009.
• Professional and business services currently represents 17.3% of non‐farm employment in the region.
• Professional, technical and managerial occupations account for about 50% to 65% of the jobs in this industry with most requiring at least a four‐year degree.
• The areas of the greatest projected job growth through 2020 include employment services (20,200 jobs), computer systems design (19,900 jobs), management, scientific and technical services (17,300 jobs) and services to buildings and dwellings (14,300 jobs).
14
Opportunities for Job GrowthEducation and Health Services
• This was one of the few sectors that experienced employment growth through the recession, adding 12,400 jobs (a 3.1% increase).
• The industry continued its strong performance, growing by 8.5% or 52,800 jobs since June, 2009 and it is projected to add 116,000 jobs between 2013 and 2020.
• The region’s population is aging quickly and life expectancy of seniors is increasing. This will fuel demand for healthcare services and creating jobs opportunities.
• Demographic changes in the workforce and the pace of technological changes will drive innovation in education and worker training at all levels.
15
Opportunities for Job GrowthManufacturing
• The recent trend toward “re‐shoring” of some manufacturing activities holds significant job creation potential.
• The looming demand for workers to replace retiring “Baby Boomers” will be the primary source of job openings in manufacturing over the next decade.
• Over 8,500 new production workers per year will be needed to replace retiring workers through 2020. The replacement demand will also be strong for managerial, professional and technical positions.
• However, a higher level of training and skills will be needed to work with more complex production technologies (e.g., robotics, 3D printing and nanomanufacturing).
16
Opportunities for Job GrowthTransportation and Warehousing
• Chicago is a principal hub of the North American road, rail, inland waterway and air transportation networks, giving it a significant competitive advantage in transportation and distribution activities.
• Transportation and warehousing accounts for a relatively small share of total employment, but has grown steadily in the past two decades and provides critical support the region’s manufacturing, wholesale, retail and agricultural sectors.
• Despite slowing economic growth and unstable fuel prices, employment has rebounded since the recession, has added 10,000 jobs since June, 2009 and is projected to add 13,700 jobs between 2013 and 2020.
17
Keys to Future Employment Growth
• Restore state and local government finances.• Re‐shoring higher value‐added manufacturing activities.• Demand for replacement workers as “Baby Boomers” retire
will be the primary source of job openings.• Demand for healthcare and services to seniors (especially
housing, travel and recreation) will continue to grow as the population ages.
• Continued growth in domestic energy production (especially natural gas).
• Investments in transportation and logistics infrastructure.• Innovations in education and worker training.
