Preliminary estimates
from the Oregon Employ-
ment Department show the
seasonally adjusted unem-
ployment rate continued
its decline from January to
February in the six-county
Eastern Oregon region.
Every county except
Grant showed the lowest
unemployment rate since
2008, but Grant was near
its post-recession low.
Officials said Grant
County experienced the
largest increase in nonfarm
payroll employment of the
eastern counties, adding
100 jobs over the year.
Both the public and pri-
vate sectors added jobs,
with leisure and hospitali-
ty experiencing the largest
change, adding 40 jobs.
The county’s seasonal-
ly adjusted unemployment
rate for February, the latest
figure available, was 10.1
percent, unchanged from
January. The rate was only
slightly better one year
earlier, at 10 percent.
Grant County’s non-ad-
justed rate, while improved
from over a year ago, is the
highest in the state at 13.8
percent, followed by Wal-
lowa at 12.1 percent and
Harney at 10.5 percent.
Other notes from the
department’s report on the
six-county region:
• Harney County’s non-
farm payroll employment

increased by 60 jobs over
the year. Job gains were
in the private sector as
the public sector was un-
changed. Strength in goods
producing industries and
leisure and hospitality
largely spurred the growth.
• Baker County expe-
rienced over-the-year job
losses in nonfarm payroll
employment, losing 10
jobs. Job losses in the pri-
vate sector were partially
offset by gains in the pub-
lic sector. Strength in con-
struction and retail trade
were offset by weakness in
educational and health ser-
vices and other services.
• Malheur County expe-
rienced over-the-year job
losses in nonfarm payroll
employment, losing 30
jobs. Losses in the public
sector were partially off-
set by gains in the private
sector. Local government
experienced the largest
change, losing 70 jobs.
• Union County’s non-
farm payroll employment
remained virtually un-
changed, losing 10 jobs
in preliminary estimates.
Gains in state government,
leisure and hospitality, and
educational and health ser-
vices were offset by weak-
ness in professional and
business services and retail
trade.
• Wallowa County ex-
perienced
over-the-year
job gains in nonfarm pay-
roll employment, add-
ing 30 jobs. Net gains
were in the public sector
as the private sector was
unchanged. Strength in
local government, manu-
facturing, and professional
and business services were
partially offset by weak-
ness in leisure and hospi-
tality.
