• Illinois is not a poor state.
• But it seems that the Illinois economy has never redounded since 2001
![Page 27: 1. Community Colleges: Definition and National Trends](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649db05503460f94a9f067/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• In 2006, Illinois ranked fifth nationally with a Gross State Product of $500 billion.
• 27th largest economy in the world-greater than Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Sweden, Greece, and Nigeria, to name a few.

• Why the Slow Economic Growth?
– NOT TAX BURDEN – NOR WASTEFUL SPENDING
• Illinois’ total state AND local tax burden, as a percentage of personal income ranks 48th in the nation
• By far, the lowest tax burden in the Midwest
• Illinois also ranks only 42nd in spending among the states

Education now matters more than ever to economic prosperity:
Unemployment rates are highest for those
with the least education
Wages are also tied to education levels
Exhibit A is Education
![Page 33: 1. Community Colleges: Definition and National Trends](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649db05503460f94a9f067/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Among unemployed youth (ages 16 – 25), 39% of Whites, over half (51.9%) of African Americans, and nearly 2/3 (63.7%) of Latinos are both out of work and out of school.
This leaves them especially vulnerable to long-term detachment from the labor market.

The problem is this …
• Growth in community colleges has been stagnated by lack of growth in resources.
![Page 48: 1. Community Colleges: Definition and National Trends](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649db05503460f94a9f067/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The problem is this …
• Most community colleges cannot increase local revenues from property taxes.
• We turn to tuition increases to cover the state funding shortfall.
![Page 49: 1. Community Colleges: Definition and National Trends](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649db05503460f94a9f067/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
