* I’ve been meaning to post this thread for days and never got around to it.
One important note: Manar states that Illinois spent $288.8 million on IDES in Fiscal Year 2008 vs. $275 million this fiscal year. But he didn’t adjust for inflation. Doing that would show Illinois spent $338.89 million in adjusted dollars in FY08, which is $64 million more than this fiscal year, an almost 19 percent historical reduction. As far as agency operations goes, current spending is almost $34 million, or 17.5 percent below where it was in FY08 after adjusting for inflation…
[2/5] Let's start w/ resources the agency has at its disposal. Overall, @IllinoisIDES is spending less $ today than it did a decade ago (adjusting for inflation would make chart much worse). Isolated, agency ops are flat. About $195m in both & 2019. pic.twitter.com/LYKcqF3FfF

[4/5] Now this: most stunning view of current situation. At a time when resources are near record low and employees are the fewest, this chart puts into perspective what has been heaped onto @IllinoisIDES. The 700k is an est for the past month. Look at it compared to '09. pic.twitter.com/UBsHDscAHk

[5/5] Using a Great Recession ratio (decade high) of claims per month per employee as base & DOUBLING every employee's workload, headcount at @IllinoisIDES should increase by about +4,600 to handle it.
Some food for thought. No "fat" here.
Another lesson: I miss making charts.

Back in February, Gov. Pritzker proposed adding 226 new staff at IDES “to improve administration of the Unemployment Insurance Program.” That was the second-highest proposed headcount increase of any state agency, behind only IDOC.
