Lights, Camera, Action! Oregon’s Top In-Migration by Occupation
 |
| Cullen Hoback, Suzanne Owens-Duval, crew: “Freedom State” |
Surprise! California leads the in-migrants to Oregon with a net in-migration of about 15,000 per year from the Sunshine State. The largest out-migration was to Washington state — Oregon loses about 3,400 more residents to Washington than it gains.
The most surprising piece in the table below is “Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports & Media” occupations. Although this comprises only 5 percent of 2012 employment in Oregon, it is showing net in-migration of 1,100 people each year.
It’s possible a big chunk of those Californians are in Arts, Design, Entertainment, Sports & Media.
