Illinois unemployment rate hits 10.1%By Wailin Wong | Tribune reporter

Unemployment in Illinois is at a 25-year high, with the statewide rate climbing to 10.1 percent in May from 9.4 percent in April.
According to data released Thursday by the Illinois Department of Employment Security, total non-farm payrolls dropped by 17,400 jobs in May. This marked the eighth straight month of job losses, though the agency noted that the pace of losses is easing. There are now 671,400 unemployed people in Illinois, the biggest number since June 1983. The state has lost 290,800 jobs since the beginning of the recession.
The hardest-hit industry in May was manufacturing, which shed 9,500 workers. The trade, transportation and utilities sector lost 5,300 jobs and the government sector shrunk by 2,900. The leisure and hospitality industry, which is gearing up for summer, added 6,900 jobs in May but has lost 13,700 jobs in the previous year.
The next phase [of the recession] likely will include a slowdown in job loss coupled with further increases in the unemployment rate, IDES director Maureen ODonnell said in a statement.
