The state of Illinois has the fifth largest GDP in the United States of America. According to the website Illinois Policy, people are migrating out of the state for better housing and employment opportunities. Almost half of the people planning to move out cited high taxes as a major reason.

According to the United Van Lines website, a fascinating fact is that the people moving out of the state fared in a high-income bracket, i.e., $150K per year or more. In an effort to promote agriculture in Illinois, President Biden visited the state in May 2022 and announced new incentives for local growers.
