Andrea Zopp on Budget & Economy

	Andrea Zopp on Budget & Economy

Strides since recession, but need more focus on unemployment

Under the leadership of President Obama since the recession, great strides have been made in improving our economic outcome. Despite this progress, unemployment in Illinois remains higher than the national average, most notably in communities of color. And too many working families across the state are still struggling to make ends meet. Fortunately, Illinois is a uniquely resilient state, and well positioned to build upon its strength as a major engine for commerce.

As Senator, Andrea will promote a comprehensive strategy that recognizes the myriad of economic opportunities in our state, while addressing the potential challenges to taking full advantage of its numerous resources. She believes that Illinois can continue to be a force in the global economy by supporting broad-based growth for all sectors of business, while identifying and confronting regional economic challenges.
