By contrast, they made a big deal (reprinted a press release, basically) about the SF corporate headquarters moving here...but failed to note the whopping number of jobs that they're bringing.MAX Redlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040240474444763721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17669835.post-47360882835144506042013-11-20T10:43:33.730-08:002013-11-20T10:43:33.730-08:00Well, guys, the Oregonian is reporting that things...Well, guys, the Oregonian is reporting that things are looking up.<br /><br />http://www.oregonlive.com/money/index.ssf/2013/11/oregon_unemployment_falls_for_2_straight_months_as_economic_recovery_continues_this_fall.html<br /><br />Though the article ends with your data, OG, on the fewest number of Oregon adults participating in the work force since 1976, there's no attempt to square the [good news] lower unemployment rate with the [bad news] lowest percentage of adults participating in the workforce in 35+ years.<br /><br />Max, +5, -500? A 100 to 1 reversal. You're not going to nitpick are you? T.

This was a new record low for this series, which started in January 1976. This measure of the health of the labor market tracks the number of employed plus the unemployed as a share of Oregon’s working age population. At the national level, the participation rate has also declined in recent years, and is a measure being watched carefully by Federal Reserve policy makers as they gauge the extent to which the economy is operating at full employment."<br /><br />Hope.

Why, just a week or so ago, I was reading about a San Francisco company that's moving their corporate headquarters to edgy, vibrant Porkland - and bringing...um...five jobs with them.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Integra Telecom's in the process of moving their corporate headquarters to...Vancouver, and taking 500 Porkland jobs with them.<br /><br />Oh, wait. Maybe the data aren't flawed, after all.MAX Redlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040240474444763721noreply@blogger.com
