(Chicago, IL) — The unemployment rate is down in all of Illinois‘ metro areas for the second month in a row. Department of Employment Security spokesman Bob Gough says a drop in unemployment in all 14 metro areas in April compared with a year ago shows continued improvement in the economy.

Growth was also seen in the Quad Cities, Kankakee and Rockford.
