Oregon Unemployment

Oregon Unemployment: The Employment Department of the state reported that the Oregon Unemployment rate for June was 10.5. Unforunately, the temporary jobs are ending. According to the Employment Department analysts, Flat numbers are better than falling numbers. Oregon's unemployment rate has gotten stuck in 2010 after dropping slightly last year, state officials said Tuesday.

The department's analysts said federal government hiring for the Census has been the only relief in a flat landscape for jobs. Those temporary jobs are ending, though.
Oregon Unemployment Department analysts saw flecks of good news.

Government jobs grew by the largest amount, creating 7,200 new jobs since December--but unlike most other states, hospitality industry jobs also saw some growth in Oregon this past year.
