Here's How To Find Job Openings In Illinois

ILLINOIS — Despite unemployment levels reaching record highs every week, a good number of employers are still searching for workers in Illinois.

The state has set up Get Hired Illinois, a new website with more than 60,000 job postings. According to Gov. J.B. Pritzker, the site will feature free vocational courses and virtual job fairs in the coming months.

"The financial stability and success of our residents is key to getting Illinois' economy back on its feet," Pritzker said Thursday. "Illinois won't be restored until our workers and families have the opportunities and resources they need to build and fill their lives. That's why my administration is working with businesses and industries across the state to encourage more employers to utilize the Get Hired website."
