Economic TrendsPer Capita Gross Domestic Product
Being mostly rural, the TCEDA region has a lower GDP than Illinois as a whole.
Per capita GDP and the rate of growth are average for non‐metro counties in Illinois.
In the past four decades increasing urbanization resulted in a widening disparity in economic growth between cities, suburbs and rural areas.

Employment TrendsEmployment by Industry
Manufacturing, a major contributor to GDP, has continued to decline as a major employer.
This decline reflects global competition, corporate mergers and acquisitions, and labor saving technologies (e.g. robotics).
Local factors, such as business costs, aging infrastructure, and labor supply also play a role.
Service sector jobs have replaced many jobs lost in manufacturing, but pay less.
