Illinois Economy
The “Prairie State” is also known for its gourds, in particular watermelons and pumpkins “necessary” for the celebration of Halloween (first place in the USA). In recent decades, viticulture and winemaking have been actively developing in the southern districts of the state.
In Illinois, various industries are well developed. Historically, the state has been one of the largest food processing centers in the United States, primarily meat and grain processing. Chicago is home to the headquarters of such well-known food companies as Kraft Foods, Quaker Oats, Wrigley and others. Illinois also provides significant amounts of corn-derived biofuels (ethanol).
The state has a very well developed mechanical engineering, it is here that three factories of the largest manufacturer of special equipment (including construction) Caterpillar (in East Peoria, Decatur and Aurora) are located; one of the factories of the famous John Deere company, which produces agricultural machinery (in East Moline); Chrysler car assembly plant (in Belvidere) and many other enterprises. Illinois also produces plastics, chemicals, various metal and rubber products, electrical machines, electronics, computers, and many other types of industrial products.
Favorable geographical location has made Illinois (and primarily Chicago) one of the largest transport “crossroads” in the United States. Many rail and road routes converge here, and the Port of Chicago is one of the largest on the Great Lakes.
O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, for several decades the busiest airport in the world in terms of the number of passengers, and today continues to be one of the largest airports in the United States of America. It is no coincidence that it is one of the base airlines for United Airlines (whose headquarters is located in Chicago) and American Airlines.
Tourism is one of the most important branches of the state’s economy. Numerous tourists are attracted by the picturesque nature of Illinois (like the Shawnee National Forest located in the south, for example), historical sites (Illinois is not accidentally called “Lincoln Land”), the unique architecture and cultural features of the Chicago metropolis (which is worth only the famous Chicago blues!), And also various events (among which are the annual classical music festivals Grant Park Music Festival and culinary Taste of Chicago).
Interestingly, it was in Chicago that the world’s first Ferris wheel was built, and the Navy Pier amusement park located here is included in the list of the most popular US tourist attractions.
