Find Out More About the Champaign and Urbana Area Economy & Job Market
Champaign/Urbana is a great place to live.
Our area is a fairly recession-proof economy with many local employment
opportunities. Education, our main employer, offers careers in the local
schools, Parkland College and the University of Illinois. Outstanding health
care is given through Carle Foundation Hospital, Provina Covenant Medical
Center, and Christie Clinic. Local businesses are dependent upon our three
interstate highways (I57, I74, I72), agriculture, and several other employers
mentioned below provide a diverse employment base. Research at the University
of Illinois adds significantly to our local economy. Entertainment and
recreation come naturally with nearly 100 parks, Krannert Center for the
Performing Arts, and over 300 Big Ten sporting events, all enhancing our
quality of life.

First Time Buyers >The Perfect House Home buyers must often deal with deferred maintenance or repairs. For example, you may have found a terrific house and like many competent home buyers, you included a structural inspection contingency in your purchase agreement. What happens when you find out that your "perfect" house needs some work? Do you ask the sellers to pay for the repairs? Before you answer "yes", there are some important considerations.
Some contracts require that all of the home's systems, such as plumbing, heating, electrical and central air conditioning, be in working order. In this case, the sellers may be obligated to repair any problems with these systems. Leaky roofs, damp basements, or other structural problems may not be covered, however. If you ask the sellers to make these types of repairs, you may void the contract by doing so. The sellers might prefer to negotiate the repairs to keep from losing the sale. If there are other buyers waiting in the wings with back-up contracts, you run the risk of losing the home.
