Monday.
Civil rights groups called
for the independent investi-

a report on a fellow DOJ
employee who expressed
support for the racial equality
movement on his public
Twitter page. The investi-
gator told his supervisors he
believed the tweets posed
a potential threat to police
and was given permission to
compile a written report on
his colleague.

Oregon jobless rate drops to 4.5 percent
PORTLAND (AP) —
Oregon’s unemployment
rate tumbled to 4.5 percent
in March — the lowest mark
since comparable record-
keeping began in 1976,
¿JXUHV UHOHDVHG 7XHVGD\
show.
A total of 1.94 million
Oregonians were employed
in March, an increase from
1.84 million at this time last
year when the jobless rate
was 5.7 percent, the State
Employment Department
statistics indicate.
Meanwhile, the job gains
led to rising wages, with the
average pay rate for private
sector payroll employees
jumping to $24.45 an hour
last month, an increase of
more than a dollar from a
year ago.
“Businesses are raising
wages to attract the help
they need, and it’s working
EHFDXVHSHRSOHDUHÀRFNLQJ
to Oregon’s labor force,”
said Nick Beleiciks, state
employment economist.
The jobless rate has
steadily dropped since
reaching a peak of nearly 12
percent in 2009. It’s now a
half-percentage point below
the U.S. unemployment
rate, a distinction Oregon
last saw in 1995.
Oregon added 3,900 jobs
last month, led by the health
care and wholesale trade
sectors, after a revised gain
of 7,400 jobs in February.
Another measure of
unemployment that includes
discouraged workers who
stopped looking as well as
part-time workers who can’t
get full-time jobs fell to 9.5
percent — down from 12.2
percent in March 2015.
Still, Gov. Kate Brown
noted that rural areas are
not keeping pace with
the booming Portland
metropolitan area.
