Caution urged following Illinois jobs, revenue reports

(The Center Square) – A strong labor market is helping to boost Illinois tax revenues, but an economics professor says states with budget difficulties should be prepared in case unemployment rises. The Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability said Illinois sales tax revenues grew $175 million, or 17.1% in October and corporate income tax receipts increased $100 million, or 43%. David Yaskewich, professor of economics and chair of accounting, economics and finance at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, said income tax and sales taxes are the primary generators of revenue at the state level. “If we have a healthy labor market where people are working, that would be something that would tend to generate revenue. So in a low unemployment period, if a state were having difficulties with its budget, that would be potentially worrisome, because if unemployment were to rise, it could only really get worse from that standpoint,” Yaskewich told The Center Square. The Illinois state budget is $55.9 billion for fiscal year 2027, up from $39 billion in 2019. The Illinois Flash Index increased from 101.5 in September to 101.7 in October, reflecting continued strength in state revenues and an improving labor market. Yaskewich said

Rural voters send message on farm policy, economic pressures

Economic pressures facing small communities are reshaping what rural voters expect from their elected leaders. Rising production costs and pressure on agricultural exports are among top concerns for Illinois communities. Michael Happ, program associate at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, pointed to a county-level analysis, which found the state's 80 rural counties moved an average of 6.5 percentage points toward Democrats compared with the 2024 presidential election. Happ thinks the results send a clear message. "I see these results as a rebuke of status quo farm policy. There are a lot of people who are commodity farmers that are reliant on exports, and this administration has been chipping away a lot of the pillars of that kind of agriculture without providing alternatives," Happ explained. University of Illinois researchers found fertilizer costs were 37% higher in 2025 compared to five years earlier. And despite some improvement, the average return to farmers' labor and management remained in the red by more than $23,000. Happ pointed out tariffs on agricultural exports and rising input costs have put additional pressure on farmers who depend on international markets. He added the concerns rural voters are weighing can look very different from one community
