    Economic Overview & Outlook

    Chicago has one of the most balanced economies in the U.S. on account of its high level of diversification. Boasting one of the U.S.’s largest science and technology workforces, the city has offices of technology companies such as Motorola Solutions and Salesforce. Of the twelve Fortune 500 companies which have their headquarters in the city, perhaps the most famous are the aerospace giant Boeing and the food companies McDonald's and Kraft Heinz.

    The city's minimum wage is one of the highest in the country, and this may be one of the reasons why the declines in population seen in recent decades appear to have halted.
