Pick Me: Demand for Higher Education in Illinois is Expected to Surge

Colleges & Universities in Illinois

The Colleges and Universities industry in Illinois has experienced limited growth over the past five years. Government funding for Illinois universities has decreased substantially during the five-year period, particularly limiting the performance of public universities like the University of Illinois. At the same time, rising tuition costs and a declining unemployment rate have deterred many potential students from enrolling in industry institutions, constraining revenue from tuition fees. Over the next five years, demand for higher education in Illinois is expected to surge as substantial growth in the state's per capita disposable income is compounded by a projected increase in the Illinois unemployment rate, which will drive college-age individuals to continue their education instead of pursuing full-time employment.
