Oregon
Here are Oregon’s fastest-growing jobs and what they pay
State economists expect Oregon will add 170,000 jobs over the next several years, bolstered by strong growth in the construction and health care industries.
The pace of job growth is slowing, though, as the state’s population ages, the post-pandemic labor boom recedes and as migration into Oregon settles into a slower pace. The Oregon Employment Department’s latest forecast anticipates just 8% more jobs during the coming decade, down from prior 10-year forecasts that predicted employment would grow by as much as 13%.
