Portland employment grew 5.2% in the 12 months ending in September, "fairly fast compared to the 50-largest metropolitan areas nationally," writes Workforce Analyst/Economist for Multnomah County Jake Procino in the most recent Multnomah County Economic Indicators report.
The city also passed an important milestone this summer, according to Procino, having recovered all of the jobs lost in early 2020 by July 2022. Meanwhile, Portland's September unemployment rate of 3.6% was nearly equal to the national rate of 3.5%.
