Information About the Area from our Experts
Schools & Education
Alexander Akulov - Landlord
The Joliet Junior College has the distinction of being the first community college in the history of the country. And with 36,000 students in their academic and non-credit programs, the school is still going strong. Elsewhere in Joliet is the University of St. Francis, Lewis University, Rasmussen University, and in nearby Romeoville is Lewis University. The public K-12 public schools here, though they’re known most for earning Joliet the nickname “City of Champions” because the high school and primary school bands won so many titles, is run by the Joliet PSD 86.
Economy and Jobs
Alexander Akulov - Landlord
Joliet has had some troubles with unemployment in the past. In the 1980s, the unemployment rate hit 25% Then, after dropping, it climbed again in 1992, this time to 18.8%. Nearly two decades later, Joliet was hit hard by the Recession. Unemployment peaked at 15.5% at the beginning of 2010. Over the past year (2011), the unemployment rate has been in a state of flux. It seems that every month there’s a different headline that either celebrates or laments the latest unemployment trend. Right now, in 2012, the unemployment rate is on the decline again, although it’s still three or four percentage points higher than the national average (Joliet: 11% U.S.: 8.5%). I wouldn’t recommend moving to Joliet without a job already in place -- people who have lived here their entire lives are having trouble finding work at the moment.
