The premium is concentrated in housing, at 6 percent under, while goods sit 4 percent over and services 0 percent over.

The median advertised pay for a travel Home Health contract in Illinois is $2,126 a week, with the middle half of contracts between $2,126 and $2,126. Measured across 1 active travel Home Health contracts in Illinois at 1 facilities, as of 2026-10-31.

Where does this Home Health pay figure come from?
From the travel contracts currently posted on CircleRN, not from an industry survey or an estimate. No federal source publishes pay by nursing specialty: the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports registered nurses as a single occupation, so there is no official median for an ICU or a labor and delivery nurse. We publish the median rather than the average because one crisis-rate assignment moves an average enough to misrepresent the market.
