CHICAGO – More businesses are able to access tax incentive information and individuals can better manage their job search and employment benefits following a year-long effort to revamp the Illinois Department of Employment Security website.

“Our concerted effort to make our customers’ web experience more intuitive and interactive is succeeding. More businesses are using the tools to improve their bottom line and search for their next new hire. More individuals are managing their employment benefits on-line while searching for their next opportunity,” IDES Director Jay Rowell said.

“These enhancements are designed to help improve the economy by making it easier for businesses to succeed and for workers to find meaningful employment while we continue to fight waste, fraud and abuse.”
