In this episode of HFO Multifamily Marketwatch®, Greg Frick interviews Amy Vander Vliet, Regional Economist at Oregon’s Employment Department, to unpack Oregon’s employment outlook. They explore the realities of Oregon’s slowing job market, regional disparities, and what’s ahead for 2025. Amy explains why the Portland area economy is “soft,” down roughly 6,000 jobs year-over-year, and explores how manufacturing slowdowns and population shifts are shaping Oregon’s economic recovery.
