Chicago has one of the world’s largest and most diverse economies and continues to gain strides
towards full recovery from the global pandemic. Chicago was named one of the top “Ten U.S. Cities
Successfully Weathering the Pandemic Thanks to Strong Management, Federal Support,” in Mid
2021 by S&P Global Ratings. Chicago’s strategic positioning, exceptional transmodal network,
access to capital, and highly educated workforce pool has evolved the region into a “tried
and true” national and global powerhouse center.
