elsewhere in the l nited States l'i
Oregon s rural counties, most o
which arc oriented to timber ami
agriculture, employment levels in
that period dropped 7 U percent a
greater loss than in any other stale
Oregon's closest rivals in rural
hardship the- survey indicated were
in the Midwest where states such as
Iowa Illinois and (Kuo also had
more than six percent losses in
nonmetropolitan employment
Washington and Idaho did not tare
as badly as Oregon during this
p erio d.
and
C a lifo rn ia 's
nonmctmpolitan employment was
almost unchanged
the study di*es not include
employment statistics trom Oregon
counties near larger urban areas,
such as l.anc. Jackson, and a c luster
of six counties in the Portland and
Salem metrofsilitan areas
" I think most people appreciated
that things were pretty bad a tew
years ago. but I'm not sure they
realized |usl how bad they were in
comparison." said Steven Kale, an
assisting professor of geography at
OSU and principal investigator on
this research "There were serious
employment losses in some countH-s
Since then there's been a substantial
improvement, but many areas arc
still not up to |q7q employment
levels
Kale, a specialist in demographic
trends and problems ot the nation's
rural areas, said that despite the
economic difficulties, a surprising
number ot rural Oregonians "stayed
put" during the recession
"People owned houses and pro
perty." Kale said "A lot ol them
were older and this made it much
ntorc difficult to move somewhere
else
there have also been significant
changes in types of employment
since the depths ot the recent re e fs
sion. Kale said In I97q a plurality
or Oregon's nonmetropolitan coun
ties had manufacturing, including the
forest products industry. as the
number one employer By ItKA
there had been a major increase in
service or trade employment, and a
plurality ot rural counties had
governm ent jobs as the lop
employer
this tradeoff o f high paying
manufacturing |obs tor lower wage-
trade and service sector employment
is consistent with a national trend in
this direction he said
