Oregon’s workforce is aging. Here are the industries with the oldest workers
Nearly 1 in 4 Oregon workers is over 55, nearing or beyond the typical retirement age. The share of older workers in the state’s labor force has more than doubled since 1990, according to a new report from the Oregon Employment Department.

Readers Respond to the Latest Contortions in Oregon Homelessness Policy
The clearing of homeless camps from Portland’s streets is often and crudely described as a game of Whac-A-Mole. But another frivolous analogy comes to mind after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled cities could enforce strict camping bans: Homelessness policy on the West Coast has been written with an Etch A Sketch, which the courts shake every few years, sending cities and states back to the drawing board.
