Workers in Illinois aspire to stable jobs where they are treated with dignity and respect. However, the loss of middle-wage jobs and changes to the nature of work over the last several decades have made that aspiration more difficult to achieve. 
 
The Illinois Future of Work Act convened a bipartisan task force comprised of legislators, business leaders, academics, and worker advocates to identify strategies for creating a future workforce that would help business, workers, and communities thrive economically throughout the state of Illinois.  
 
The Inclusive Economy Lab, the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice, and the Metropolitan Planning Council are honored to have had the opportunity to collaborate with the Task Force, community stakeholders from across the state, and Economic Security Illinois to produce the Illinois Future of Work Report. This report has been delivered to the Illinois General Assembly and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.
