Chicago Snags Some Corporate Jobs, but Will it Be Enough?

Lower real estate prices may be helping Chicago bring more jobs downtown. A London-based consulting firm called Xchanging is opening its new U.S. headquarters later this month. It’s just the latest in a handful of companies that are making their homes in the Windy City. United Airlines is also planning a move downtown, Beermaker MillerCoors moved in from Colorado this past summer and who can forget the folks who brought us the Willis Tower? Joining us for more on what these moves tell us about Chicago’s business health is Eight Forty-Eight business contributor David Greising.
