W.E. Hunter, Oregon Employ­
ment Divison Administrator, an­
nounced that October was an ex­
cellent month for Oregon's eco­
nomy. "Strength was evident in
almost all sectors," he said, "w ith
the few negative events linked more
to weather conditions than to eco­
nomic factors.
The seasonally adjusted u n ­
employment rate crept up by one-
tenth, the fifth straight monthly
increase However, in nine months
of decline, the rate fell from 8.6% in
August 1986 to 5.5% in May 1987.
Since then, a gradual upward move
ment has raised the rate by less than
a full point Also, the rate would
not have risen in October but for
the unusual weather conditions
Thus, it becomes apparent that
rather than the gradual increase
being a cause for concern the un­
employment rate continues to indi­
cate a strong economy.
Results of Oregon's monthly sur­
vey of employers show that wage
and salary employment has set a
new record for the fourth time this
year. With 1,120,400 payroll em­
ployees, 38,000 jobs have been add
ed in the past 12 months.
The Department of Transporta­
tion has given Federal Express ap­
proval to begin small package ship­
ments to Tokyo via Portland Inter­
national Airport. The long-awaited
decision gives Portland a second air
entry into Japan that could repre­
sent an annual economic impact to
the area of $25 million.
The decision cited Federal Ex­
press' door-to-door service as a key
igredient to a successful United
States Tokyo route. It makes Port­
land the sole gateway for small
package shipments between the
two countries, a designation that
could be significant in Oregon's
attraction of new business and in­
dustry.
Though the decision must be ap
proved by the White House, Federal
Express could start their service by
summer 1988. A $5 million expand­
ed cargo facility for Federal Express
has already been completed at Port­
land International Airport to meet
the needs of the new service.
