State jobless rate hits 7.3%

If you need a clue as to how bad the unemployment situation is in Illinois, consider 33-year-old Kevin Champagne. He was among roughly 1,000 people who showed up Thursday to apply for 240 part-time jobs at a Target store that will open in Morgan Park this fall. Some 3,000 people are expected to apply by the time Target finishes the three-day job fair Saturday at Apostolic Pentecostal Church of Morgan Park.
