Macomb, Illinois: My Illinois Savings Guide for Local Employers

ZIP codes with a Macomb mailing address had 441 business locations in 2023, with about 6,859 people on payroll in the March pay period.

At least 207 of the 441 locations had 5 or more employees on site, the headcount at which My Illinois Savings starts to apply. The law counts all of an employer's Illinois employees, not one location, so treat this as a local indicator.

The most common types of business in these ZIP codes are retail trade (72 locations), health care and social assistance (63 locations) and accommodation and food services (59 locations). Across McDonough County, the largest industry by employment is manufacturing (1,931 jobs), and private leisure and hospitality employment ran from 1,024 in January 2024 to 1,169 in September 2024.

64 of the 441 business locations in Macomb's ZIP codes are in accommodation and food services or arts, entertainment and recreation, the leisure and hospitality industries where staffing levels tend to change with the season. Illinois counts employees under 820 ILCS 80/5. The rule reads: “employed at least 5 employees in the State during every quarter of the previous calendar year”. If your Macomb business's headcount rises and falls during the year, that wording decides whether you meet the threshold, so confirm your status with My Illinois Savings.
