Ironworkers: The Backbone of Our Energy Storage and Green Transition Economy
Friday, Apr 4, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Ironworkers are at the forefront of Illinois’ green energy transition, ensuring a sustainable future while securing strong, union-backed wages. Thanks to the historic investment in renewable energy by Governor Pritzker and the Illinois General Assembly, thousands of Illinois ironworkers are finding employment in green energy projects, including energy storage. From day one, ironworkers have been erecting wind turbines and battery plants. By advancing hydrogen and other energy storage solutions, they play a crucial role in making the ambitious goals of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) a reality. Their expertise ensures that Illinois not only meets but leads in clean energy innovation. By including all of union labor in renewable energy projects, we strengthen our workforce, our economy, and our environment. The future is green—powered by the hands of skilled ironworkers.

Healing Communities: More Than Healthcare Providers, Hospitals Are Economic Engines
Friday, Apr 4, 2025 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] Illinois hospitals are driving local economies across the state through a combined $117.7 billion in economic activity every year. Such significant contributions to the state and local economies come from providing good-paying jobs and spending on supplies, services, and capital. While hospitals are best known for their lifesaving care—and always being there when you need them—their role stretches farther. They’re also working hard to address community health needs, provide accessible care and train future clinicians. As economic anchors in their community, Illinois hospitals create 445,000 direct and indirect jobs, and they support working families through over $50 billion in direct and indirect salaries annually. What’s more:
• Illinois hospitals directly employ 190,000 Illinoisans. • Every $1 in hospital spending leads to another $1.40 in community spending. Illinois hospitals spend nearly $62 billion to have at the ready the medical equipment and supplies needed to care for patients in any circumstance. In addition, the hospital community spends over $5.5 billion on capital projects yearly that benefit patients and employ local businesses.
