The trauma of the 2008-2009 recession began to lessen in the second half of 2009. As output increased, employment declines diminished and signs of stabilization emerged. The process of recovery has been uneven and unsatisfying in its strength. The experience cast a long shadow with the changes in the real estate markets, the de-leveraging process, extended periods of unemployment, wealth reductions, and policy uncertainties. The recovery process is underway, but softened in the late spring. All fifty states had periods of falling employment, Oregon with its vulnerable industry mix was seriously impacted with an employment decline in 2009 of more than 6 percent. Prospects and risks for the nation and the state will be covered in the presentation.
