•“The key factor fueling growth in the state continues to be an influx of new residents.”
•“Oregon’s relatively strong performance is expected to continue despite the sharp decline in the timber industry. The geographic distribution of the timber industry means that many portions of the state will continue to feel the impact of the recession much more severely than the statewide average.”

Nobody Is Perfect
December 1998: “Recovery in the semiconductor industry. Excess capacity in the semiconductor industry should begin to ease by 1999. A resumption in OR’s high tech manufacturing sector is expected to follow. Announced long-term investment plans by major companies are expected to be carried out during the 2000 to 2005 period. New investment from suppliers to the industry is also expected.”
December 1998: “Rising commodity prices. The slump in agriculture and natural resource prices is expected to be turning around by 2000. This will spur higher income and job growth for Oregon’s large agriculture and natural resource sectors.”
June 1990: “A key development in April was the release of the proposed Conservation Strategy for the Protection of the Spotted Owl….The current forecast assumes that total timber harvest will decline by 15% between 1989 and 1993.”
