Reading the numbers
With 3 industrial acres, pallets in Elmwood Park are more likely to come from shops, contractors and small distributors. Small piles rarely pay for a truck on their own, so grouping with a neighbour or waiting until you have more usually works better.
IDES counted 2,311 private-sector jobs here in its 2025 Where Workers Work report. The two job counts measure different things (LEHD counts primary jobs, IDES counts covered private jobs), so read them as a range, not a trend.
