Issue 2007-3 - Who Doesn't Get Jobs? - Between April 1 and June 30, 2006, more than 69,000 people (77%) served by the workforce system found jobs. Of all the people served by Oregon's workforce system, what do we know about the ones who don't find jobs?  In this issue of Results & Trends we examine the demographic characteristics of those individuals that were not employed after receiving services from the workforce system.

Issue 2008-1 - Industry Employment -- A Glimpse Below the Surface - Of the roughly 169,000 individuals who found a job after being served by the workforce system between July 1, 2004 and June 30, 2005, over 120,000 (72%) went to work in six of the possible 20 industries. In this issue we answer the questions: "Does PRISM include occupational employment data?" and "Which industries pay the highest wages to those individuals served by Oregon's workforce system?"
