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.
