Illinois will receive about $53 million in federal stimulus money to create jobs for those 14- to 24-year-olds from now until Sept. 30. Illinois workNet centers in suburban Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties will dole out about $8.7 million of that total to area employers looking for temporary summer help.
