The unemployment rate is slipping, but what concerns me is the year-over-year job change is slipping too, it's only at 0.3% now. We've scraped so hard just to get above 1.0% this whole recovery it seems, meanwhile many other places are well above 2% or even 3% per year.
If this was true for Chicago it would be adding over 100,000 jobs per year, I can imagine if we did that we would really feel the growth.
