CHICAGO, IL — Governor JB Pritzker’s relentless focus on economic development made Illinois a top state for business, with more than 700 businesses expanding or moving to the state just last year.
Gov. Pritzker knows how to attract future-forward industries and create high-paying jobs for Illinoisans. Just eight days ago, Hyundai unveiled the state’s largest single job creation commitment for manufacturing in recent history: the company plans to create 3,750 jobs in Will County.
Through Rebuild Illinois and the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, Gov. Pritzker has created and supported hundreds of thousands of new jobs and brought new industries to the state. Today, more people are working in Illinois than ever before. He also invested millions in the state’s Back to Business and Business Interruption grant programs, while cutting taxes for 400,000 small businesses.
In just four days, Illinoisans will choose between Darren Bailey, an extremist who voted against raising wages and creating new jobs for working families, and Gov. Pritzker, a leader who is working every day to land new investments and create new jobs in Illinois.
