Greg Rivara, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Employment Security, said that although the recovery has been "very uneven," there are some identifiable hot sectors for job growth in Illinois. They include health care, education and information technology. The department recently helped Aon Corp. fill 100 well-paying positions, Rivara said, pointing to one success story.

Rivara's advice for job-seekers: The agency offers training in computer skills and other areas, and employees have to keep their skills marketable. "If an individual lost their job and has not improved their skills," he said, "they are not in a position to re-enter the workforce and find meaningful employment."
