The state has submitted its bid to land the second world headquarters or HQ2 of Amazon.
The web retailer right now is being courted by every major city in the nation and that includes a bid that centers around Chicago. Amazon is offering the possibility of fifty thousand jobs that pay more than a $100,000 a year.
Governor Bruce Rauner says in the end each one of those Amazon jobs will create another opportunity for employment.
Rauner says the Amazon bid process is wrapping up in a few days and then the state will share more details of what it offered to land HQ2.
