Built to Help Illinois BusinessesGrow Revenue,Hire, and Build Wealth
The Illinois State Black Chamber of Commerce has selected remoting.work to provide its members with access to vetted, full-time/fractional employees from low-cost economies around the globe. Starting at $6/hour.
Be a Force for Business Growth
Access to affordable, reliable hiring is one of the biggest barriers standing between Black-owned businesses in Illinois and their next stage of growth.
According to a report by Illinois Economic Development Corporation, Black-owned firms make up 11% to 13% of all businesses in the state, totaling over 180,000 Black-owned firms. However, only 4,800 – 5,000 of the over 180,000 firms are employer firms. Looking at the full picture, Black entrepreneurs only account for about 2% of the state's 243,000+ employer firms highlighting a stark structural gap.
This partnership exists to close that gap.
