Oregon was unable to release its normal monthly employment estimate for September due to the federal government shutdown.<\/p>\n

The state relies on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate statewide and local reports of joblessness. The data would normally have been released on Oct. 3<\/a>, but with BLS employees on furlough, data for September was unavailable.<\/p>\n

State economists were able to release their analysis<\/a> of federal Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data from the second quarter of 2025. That report relies on data collected from unemployment insurance records.<\/p>\n

That report found a decline of 3,800 jobs from a year prior.<\/p>\n

“The private sector lost 11,100 jobs over the year, which was a decline of almost 1%. The government [sector] did add jobs, 7,300, and three-fourths of those gains were in local government,” said Oregon Employment Economist Gail Krumenauer.<\/p>\n

The monthly report also highlighted the number of federal employees in Oregon in the QCEW data. About 29,000 people in Oregon have a federal job that requires unemployment insurance. Rural counties tend to have the highest share of federal jobs.<\/p>\n

Krumenauer added that the state will continue to publish the information it does have on its normal schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oregon was unable to release its normal monthly employment estimate for September due to the federal government shutdown.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":306462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[64,420,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-306461","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jobs","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-jobs","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115380529735578443","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
