Local Economy Healthy But Concern Over Job Growth

BN EDC

The latest quarterly snapshot of the Bloomington-Normal economy shows strong overhaul health, but there is concern about one area--stagnant job growth. During WGLT's Sound Ideas, Willis Kern talked with the Economic Development Council's Aimee Ingalls in advance of the EDC's "BN By the Numbers" event at ISU Thursday.

Willis is a Bloomington, IL, native. During his senior year at Bloomington High School, he finished third in the "Radio Speaking" division of the state speech contest, the only year he competed.
