How much does a carpet layer or tile installer make?
First of all - installers are paid per sq/ft and rates depend on the product they're installing. I've been an installer for 10 years and I've never earned less than 75,000 a year. and I know guys that earn 150,000 a year. 10-20% goes to supplies. and the guys that make 150,000 a year often have one or two apprentices working for them that they pay about 20K a year.
Right now laminate installers earn about 2.00/sf and they install about 600 to 800 sf a day. I don't know any installer that installs less than 1500 sf a week. and the guys that do that, only work two or three days a week.
Top earners are Tile guys. most of them earn +90K if they keep a 9-5 work day, 5 days a week.
It's one of the lesser known trades. if you don't believe me, go to your nearest flooring store and ask them. it is a 2 year apprenticeship with an experienced installer, or there are some trade schools that are offering the training formally. this is not necessary, but if you can't find an installer to take you on, this is the way to go.
Is there a train service from Chicago to Springfield?
Actually, there are three trains from Chicago to California. The California Zephyr goes to Denver, Salt Lake City and San Francisco on a daily basis.

The phrase the "Windy City" for Chicago is typically attributed to NEW YORK SUN newspaper editor Charles Dana, who before the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (Columbian Exposition) wrote, "pay no attention to the nonsensical claims of that windy city,"referring to the "Second City's" reputation for blustery politics and tourism propaganda. It was somewhat prescient of Chicago's efforts to get the Olympic games for 2016 (without success).
Some wordsmiths find use of the term twenty years before Dana, fueled by Chicago's constant reputation for combustible political breezes ever since its beginning.
Others point out that Chicago is among the ten windiest cities in the U. S. and that its proximity to the gigantic Lake Michigan and its collection of skyscrapers enhance its reputation via the weather.
However windy the "Windy City" might be, the origins are more social than climatic.

Can you receive unemployment benefits and Social Security benefits at the same time in Illinois?
Yes, but unfortunately, Illinois and Louisiana are the only states that have not changed the law that deducts money from unemployment payments to people who also receive social security
Here's the formula in Illinois -- multiply your monthly social security payment by 12 (months). Divide that amount by 52 (weeks). Divide that amount in half and that's the amount that will be deducted from your weekly unemployment payment. If you have a dependent, usually a spouse, the amount might be a little different. But not by much.
Realize the unemployment benefits are reduced, not the Social Security benefits. Your Social Security benefits will continue at the expected rate.
Example:
$1,200 monthly social security payment x 12 months = $14,400
$14,400 / 52 weeks = $279.92 / 2 = $139.96
eligible for $385 weekly unemployment payment - $139.96 = $245.04 is your weekly unemployment payment
This unfair law can only be repealed by the State Legislature. Illinois AARP has made it a priority. To help or for more information, please contact Ryan Gruenenfelder at Illinois AARPFor more information, see Sources and Related Links and the Related Question Link, below.
