Table 1. Population in the Workforce Investment Area (LWIA 17) 2017

Based in Urbana, Illinois, the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (RPC) is an intergovernmental membership organization that provides a variety of programming in the areas of regional, environmental, and transportation planning; economic, community, and workforce development; social services; early childhood education; and technical assistance in East Central Illinois.

RPC administers the federal workforce development program in East Central Illinois. The local workforce investment area (LWIA) includes Champaign, Ford, Piatt, and Iroquois counties. The federal workforce program is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market, and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.

As part of a comprehensive laborshed study being conducted by RPC in 2018 and 2019, regional workforce profiles have been compiled in order to provide an initial overview of each county’s workforce demographics.

Economic Characteristics

Basic economic characteristics for Champaign County, as well as for Iroquois, Ford, and Piatt Counties are found in Table 2. Champaign County, with a population of almost 210,000, houses a large majority (78%) of the total population in the local workforce investment area. The median household income in the county is slightly lower than that of the workforce investment area (LWIA 17), likely due to the large number of students residing in Champaign County.

Champaign County also serves as the major employment center with almost 85 percent of the regional jobs housed within the county. As a result, the Gross Regional Product (GRP) of 11.6 billion dollars in 2017 is the largest out of the four counties in the area.

Table 9. Unemployment Rate by Race, 2012-2016 Estimates


Table 8 shows the unemployment rate by age. Champaign County has lower unemployment rates among all age groups compared to state and national levels. In Champaign County, individuals 16 to 19 years of age have the highest unemployment rates, while the lowest levels of unemployment are observed among individuals from 30 to 44 and those over 75 years of age.

Table 9 shows the unemployment rate by race. In Champaign County, the Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander population has the lowest unemployment rate, whereas the American Indian and Alaska Native population has the highest rate, at 10.2 percent over the five-year period.

An ‘-’ entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.

Table 11. Unemployment Rate by Other Characteristics, 2012-2016 Estimates

Unemployment rates tend to decrease with higher educational attainment, as shown in Table 10. The Champaign County unemployment rates by educational attainment are similar to that of the state and nation, but with a lower unemployment rate among the working population overall. Unemployment rates tend to be higher among individuals with a disability or those living below the poverty level, depicted in Table 11.

At county, state, and national levels, the unemployment rate is more than twice as high among those living below the poverty level compared to the general population. However, the unemployment rate for this population in Champaign County is much lower than that of Illinois and the U.S. Among the population with a disability, unemployment rates are approximately 15 percent, which is significantly higher than unamployment rates for the overall population over 16 years of age.

Table 13 shows the largest industries in Champaign County based on 2-digit NAICS codes. Government is by far the largest industry in the county, including the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as well as government agencies. This is true both in the number of jobs but also in relative concentration compared to national averages.

The government location quotient of 1.94 is considerably higher than that of the second-largest industry: health care and social assistance. Jobs in retail trade and manufacturing also employ many workers in the county, but have seen a decrease between 2007 and 2017. The manufacturing industry especially has seen a negative trend, dropping by more than 2,300 jobs in 10 years. Many of the industries that employ fewer individuals also saw decreases across the time period, resulting in a slight decline in the total number of jobs in 2017 compared to 2007.
