Illinois Leads U.S. In Population Loss

The exodus from Illinois continues. The latest numbers from the Census Bureau show that Illinois lost nearly 80-thousand people in the year that ended back in July. That’s a loss of 22-thousand more people than last year and marks the seventh time in the past 10 years that Illinois has lost people. Governor Pritzker says it’s going to take some time for the state to make-up for the number of people who’ve left the state.
