But eventually customers may seek to maintain the “face time” they have had with CME staff and executives in Chicago, adding new positions elsewhere or ultimately moving some their own operations, said Anthony Dostellio, recruiting manager with executive search firm Objective Paradigm.

“One of the reasons we’re based in Chicago is because a lot of our clients are, and our clients are here partly because CME is here,” he said. “Over time a lot of firms that are here and grow and create jobs might find it easier to be close to where the hub is located.”

Anthony Dostellio, managing partner with trading-focused recruitment firm Objective Paradigm, said the city and state would feel the loss if CME did depart. “The people that work there are highly educated and well-compensated–not only in financial services positions but in legal and all the other things that make a business run,” he said.
