The labor force hit a record high of 2.08 million, an indication more people are seek- ing work in a state that for the past year has been adding jobs at a faster pace than the national average. “The unemployment rate had LOTTERIES PUBLIC MEETINGS Associated Press OREGON Tuesday’s Pick 4: 1 p.m.: 7-3-3-4 4 p.m.: 1-0-0-2 7 p.m.: 0-5-9-1 10 p.m.: 4-0-2-7 Weather (W): s-sunny, pc-partly cloudy, c-cloudy, sh-showers, t-thunderstorms, r-rain, sf-snow fl urries, sn-snow, i-ice.
