N eed for
Food Stam ps
(AP) - The number o f Orego­
nians on food stamps jumped
more than 77,000 in September
compared with September of last
year -- another sign that the
state economy is in rough shape.
T he 32 percen t increase
pushed the number of Oregon
food stamp users to 315,691,
roughly 9 percent of the popu­
lation.
S ta te e c o n o m ist T om
Potiowsky said there’s no ques­
tio n the rise is re la te d to
O regon's unemployment rate,
now at 6.4 percent. Many of the
recipients likely are minimum-
wage workers, who are often the
first to lose their jobs in a reces­
sion and who don’t have sav­
ings to tide them over, he said.
Jim Neely, state food stamp
coordinator, said it was the big­
gest year-to-year increase he
has seen since 1974, when he
started working in the assis­
tance program.
People out o f work or whose
hours have been cut account
for much of the increase, he
said. But the food stamp pro­
gram has also streamlined the
ap p licatio n pro cess and is
reaching more Oregonians eli­
gible for help, Neely said.
