While much of Oregon’s manufacturing industry as a whole continues to decline, food manufacturing has maintained a rather steady presence over the past 50 years.
Oregon Business Magazine recently published findings made by WorkSource Oregon that show that the industry has continued to support over 20,000 jobs in the state throughout all the ups and downs of the economy. WorkSource’s website currently reports the figure to be at 23,200, up 0.4% over the last year, while manufacturing as a whole is down by nearly 4.0%.Â
