CNBC’s annual top states for business rankings are giving Illinois some high marks. Overall, Illinois is rated 17th …a significant improvement from 30th place back in 2019. State Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Director Kristen Richards says the Illinois fared particularly well in a few categories.

“We rose to number two in the nation for infrastructure, just really telling the story, the impact of that Rebuild Illinois Capital Plan that is making $45 billion in infrastructure investments across the state.”

Illinois also came in second for education and was ranked ninth in the nation for cost of living.
