Not slowly at all. 7 other mid to large size companies have already moved out of Illinois, the most notable is Jimmy Johns. As soon as business taxes went up Jimmy John packed up his family and moved them to Florida so he wouldn't personally have to pay the higher state income tax. Jimmy John's board of directors is expected to approve moving their corporate headquarters out of southern Illinois to another lower tax state somewhere down south.

Another company, I believe a golf club maker in the NW suburbs re-located to Kenosha, Wisconsin taking some 400+ jobs with them in the last few weeks too.

Granted, the Dem's in this God forsaken state are too effing stupid to realize they caused these jobs to leave....
