“Between February 2012 and February 2013, Illinois added nearly 200,000 new enrollees to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. In contrast, Illinois added only 68,400 non-farm payroll jobs during that same time period. This disappointing news comes on top of the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics labor release that reported Illinois has the second-highest unemployment rate in the nation. Over the past decade, the numbers look even worse. The state added nearly 1 million residents to food stamp programs, while suffering a net loss of more than 200,000 payroll jobs.”
