概要

 Portland's job market reflects Oregon's broader economic challenges, with slow population growth driven by net migration of 17,000 from June 2024 to June 2025 according to Portland State University's Population Research Center, yet lagging national recovery as noted by Oregon Employment Department economists Gail Krumenaur and Jake Procino. The employment landscape shows Oregon ranking 47th nationally in unemployment at 5.2 percent through November 2025 per The Registry PS analysis, higher than the U.S. average of 4.4 percent reported by national data snapshots. Key statistics include a labor force participation rate hovering around 63 percent, below the national average since 2012, amid declining birth rates and mixed moving trends from firms like United Van Lines ranking Oregon top for inbound moves in 2025 while Atlas Van Lines showed net outflows.

Major industries encompass manufacturing facing losses, technology with sites like Intel, and services, though specific Portland employers like Nike or Providence Health remain dominant without fresh 2026 data. Growing sectors appear limited, with economists cautious on expansion; higher education faces enrollment declines and consolidations as outlined in JobStars' 2026 career analysis. Recent developments include Gov. Tina Kotek's prosperity roadmap aiming to boost labor supply and participation, alongside dour metro-area outlooks from OPB surveys. Seasonal patterns are not detailed in available data, and commuting trends lack specifics, though population growth supports infrastructure needs. Government initiatives focus on revitalizing business reputation amid national scrutiny.

The market has evolved from strong in-migration in the 1980s-2010s to post-pandemic stagnation, with conflicting migration signals and no clear rebound. Data gaps persist on precise Portland unemployment, commuting, and seasonal hiring due to reliance on state-level figures.

Key findings highlight persistent weakness, manufacturing declines, and potential from migration and participation boosts. Current openings include Senior Research Assistant I in Portland via LeadingAge careers, higher education roles amid sector shifts per JobStars, and general workforce positions at Oregon Employment Department.
