Everyone is saying there is no work in portland,or........? |
Travel Info what industries? im a cabinetmaker/furniture designer and it seems that there is plenty of work in that catagory (with good pay). i would just like some clarification. thanks Travel Tips Job market was terrible for a few years after 9/11, but it's better here now. Best industries here are apparel (Nike/Adidas/Columbia), Technology (Intel), Housing/construction, health care, and professional services. There is a decent manufacturing base here too but China is crushing the US in this field everywhere, Portland included. Forestry and agriculture were #1 here until the 80's. For your field I would follow the construction. That means Portland suburbs, Bend, and Medford/Ashland. Good luck! Source(s): I am a local CFO so I have to follow these trends closely. Other Travel Tips There used to be a HUGE high tech job market here, but much of that and other production/manufacturing got outsourced to asia/india when Bush took office. DUDE if you can find a job here then your not looking for work But I would go to central oregon fun town Bend oregon and a lot of need for your skills Plenty of your kinda work here. My cousin does the same work, but I don't know where just yet. Places are too picky for qualifications than I have. GED, Forklift esp, drivers lic., valid drivers license w/car. I don't have these things, and I don't plan to. I don't need them. |
