Unemployment rates are fairly low right now, however many people are searching for a better paying job. Often times those better jobs are out there, but employers and qualified applicants don't get connected. Jeff Mays, director of the Illinois Dept of Employment Security says they currently have nearly 180,000 jobs listed in Illinois and of you register at IllinoisJobLink.com you can get a lot of help finding that better job.



Most employers list their jobs on the IllinoisJobLink website, and most of the commercial employment websites get most of their listings from the state site as well.



The Dept of Employment Security can also help you get free or low cost job training through community colleges and other sources to improve your skills and help land a better paying position.
