Chamber Luncheon: Employment Forecast & Resources

Join us where attendees will learn the latest industry and labor force trends in Oregon and in Benton County. We will look at the factors contributing to today’s tight labor market in Oregon and the U.S. We will also look in to the future and see the employment forecast for Oregon and discuss the possibility of a recession on the horizon. Employment trends in Philomath will also be discussed and we will look at commuting patterns and demographics of Philomath’s working residents as well as people that work in Philomath but live outside the city.
