Over $3,000 for an Economic Forecasting Subscription
Using our transparency website, IllinoisOpenGov.org, I found that in 2008, the Illinois Department of Employment Security paid Global Insight (USA) Inc. $3,363.50 for a subscription to their economic forecast. Global Insight (USA) Incorporated is a forecasting company based in Lexington, Massachusetts, which provides economic, political, and financial modeling and analysis. The subscription provides the state “access to databases of economic information, supplemented by an extensive collection of financial data.”
You can find this information by going to IllinoisOpenGov.org, clicking on “Checks to Businesses & People” and searching for “Global Insight (USA) Inc” in the “vendor” section.
