Illinois' gubernatorial candidates are focusing on the economy, with Gov. Pat Quinn touting his jobs record and Republican Bruce Rauner stopping at Chicago-area businesses.

Quinn on Monday visited a Chicago technology company that received a $2.5 million state grant. Coyote Logistics plans to add 500 jobs over the next three years.

Quinn says more Illinoisans are working now than at any time during his six years in office. Vice President Joe Biden was scheduled to appear with Quinn later at a rally in Rockford.

Rauner stopped at a Chicago steel company and claimed Quinn has failed the manufacturing industry. He told workers at Lapham-Hickey Steel that Illinois isn't competitive and lags behind other states.

Quinn is seeking a second full term. Rauner is making a first bid for public office.
