Northwest agriculture, forestry, fi sheries pack fi scal punch
Industries
account for
more than 10
percent of jobs

A new university study
fi nds the natural resources sec-
tor in the Northwest fuels more
than $176 billion in direct and
related sales and accounts for
nearly 886,000 full and part-
time jobs.
The study, commissioned
by Northwest Farm Credit Ser-
vices and performed by exten-
sion economists at Oregon
State University and the Uni-
versity of Idaho, found agri-
culture, forestry and fi sher-
ies account for 10.6 percent of
all jobs in the fi ve-state region
and 12.2 percent of all sales in
2015.
“We knew intuitively how
vital these industries are to
the Northwest and wanted to
quantify their contributions
to the regional economy,”
said Phil DiPofi , the president
and CEO of Northwest Farm
Credit Services.
“This study affi rms the sig-
nifi cant impact producers have
on the fi nancial strength of our
region,” he said.
Agriculture is the front-run-
ner in economic impact, claim-

sales and jobs within the
region’s natural resources sec-
tor with more than $120.1 bil-
lion in direct and related sales
and 621,518 jobs in 2015.
It also accounted for 8.3
percent of total sales in the
region and 7.5 percent of all
jobs, the economists found.
Forestry accounts for
nearly 24 percent of sales in
the natural resources sector
and 21 percent of the jobs.
Direct and related sales in the
industry totaled nearly $42 bil-

In the 1970s, Waggoner
was an environmental activist
with the Oregon Environmen-
tal Council, and was one of
the people who spearheaded
the Oregon Bottle Bill.
That law was passed in
1971 and requires deposits to
be paid on beverages in recy-
clable bottles, cans and other
containers. Oregon’s bottle
bill was the fi rst in the United
States. Ten states now have
similar laws.

200,770 direct jobs in the sector
with $42.4 billion in direct sales
in 2015. Oregon had 147,591
direct jobs in the sector with
$32.4 billion in direct sales.
The two states also have
more related economic activ-
ity than the other states due
to larger spillover benefi ts, as
there are more businesses buy-
ing and selling and more peo-
ple earning wages and income
from the production, the econ-
omists found.

with more than $22.7 billion
in sales in 2015. Montana had
63,360 direct jobs with more
than $8 billion in sales in 2015.
With similar employment
levels, “total sales in Idaho
are 2.8 times as large as sales
in Montana, which indicates
that the natural resources sec-
tor is less labor intensive and
includes more high value pro-
duction in Idaho than Mon-
tana,” the economists reported.
Alaska has the fewest sales
and jobs in the sector, with
about $5.9 billion direct in sales
and 45,036 direct jobs in 2015.
The study also found
that 60 percent of all natural
resource sales in the region
are exported to other states or
other countries, accounting for
15 percent of all exports from
the region. Total sales exported
ranged from a high of 89 per-
cent of the seafood manufac-
turing sector to a low of 55
percent of agricultural farm
gate production.
