Issues and Options for the other Oregon

Michael Hibbard

Michael Hibbard works in the Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management in the University of Oregon U.S.A.

It is a common observation that there are two Oregons. One has fully recovered from the downturn of the early 1980s and is thriving. "The other Oregon" confronts ongoing problems of high unemployment, low incomes, and outmigration. The communities that make up the other Oregon depend for their economic health on single staple industries, based in agricultural and/or natural resource extraction. Historically, the wood products industry has been the primary economic indicator for the other Oregon; it is central to any current discussions of the other Oregon and its interrelationship with Oregon as a whole. In this chapter the problems of the communities of the other Oregon are analyzed and state-level policies for addressing the problems are discussed.
