DEMOGRAPHICS \/ ECONOMY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicago Southland is closely aligned with America’s industrial history, emerging as a major industrial and transportation center. The regional economy continues to diversify and grow, sprawling new and expanding businesses over thousands of acres of land. Chicago’s southern suburbs serve as an economic powerhouse anchored by a wide range of commercial, industrial, and economic sectors. Light industry, computer software and services, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are all a part of the dynamic mix that includes many regional headquarters and multi-national companies. Northwest Indiana is home to an increasingly diverse economy with a strong history of steel production. In addition to manufacturing operations, today’s employers range from a number of state-of-the-art healthcare facilities and retail centers to dazzling casinos.<\/p>\n
