The Month Ahead
The Salem metropolitan
statistical area’s (MSA) un-
employment rate increased
to 4.1 percent in June, up
from its revised May rate of
3.8 percent, according to
data recently released from
the state employment de-
partment.
Oregon’s statewide unem-
ployment rate was 3.7 per-
cent in June, essentially un-
changed from its revised rate
in May of 3.6 percent. The
national unemployment rate
was 4.4 percent in June.
Salem’s June employment
gains were more than nor-
mal. Salem added an estimat-
ed 1,200 jobs in June when
an increase of roughly 200
would be expected, meaning
seasonally adjusted non-farm
employment increased 1,000.
Salem’s employment was
nearly 11,000, or 7.1 per-
cent, above its pre-recession
employment peak, which oc-
curred in February 2008.
Employment in the Salem
MSA grew 3,300 over the
past year, a 2 percent increase.
Salem’s growth was outpaced
by the state, but not the na-
tion. Oregon’s employment
grew 2.9 percent over the
past year.
Nationally, employment
was up 1.5 percent over the
past 12 months. Salem’s pri-
vate sector added 2,600 jobs
over the past year, growing
2.2 percent. The public sec-
tor added 700 jobs, growing
1.6 percent.
The fastest-growing major
private-sector industries over
the past year included: con-
struction (added 900 jobs,
grew 9.6 percent); and min-
ing and logging (added 100
jobs, grew 8.3 percent).
Fire damages 2 homes
Keizer First District spent more than two and half hours at
the 900 block of Moneda Ave. in Keizer Saturday, July 15, put-
ting out fi res on two adjacent homes.
The fi re started with a wood fence between the two houses
before spreading to bushes, a wood deck on one of the proper-
ties and then into the attic of both homes, where it was main-
tained.
KFD was dispatched at 7:58 p.m. Salem Fire assisted with two
Keizer engines as well as a battalion team and medic unit. The
last unit on the scene cleared at 10:37 p.m.
Neither house was occupiable for the night. Investigation
into the cause of the fi re is ongoing.
