"Cat" possibly moving

[royalstar09]

Looks like an additional 23,000 Illinois employees are under the gun this time. Cannot blame Caterpillar but it would definetly hurt this towns economy. Hope they get something worked out.

Unfortunately CAT has been moving out of Illinois for years.

Illinois -- where Caterpillar employs 23,000 of its 104,000 global employees

Like the auto companies they've been moving South and overseas where the costs of doing business are lower.
