Jonathan Clement's Blog: State Of Change: Changing Economy In Oregon

FYI: I’VE LIVED in Oregon most of my life. When I was growing up, agriculture, logging and fishing were the state’s dominant industries. In the 1970s and 1980s, the economy began transitioning from one based on natural resources to one rooted in technology, travel and manufacturing. A few decades ago, companies like Weyerhaeuser and Georgia-Pacific were among the state’s leading employers. These days, Intel is the largest, keeping more than 20,000 Oregonians gainfully employed.

But it isn’t just Oregon’s private sector that’s seen plenty of change. There’s also been upheaval among the state’s colleges and universities—the world where I’ve made my living for the past three decades.
Regards,
Ted
