Oregon’s economic growth is showing signs of deceleration, according to insights from the state economist. Indicators point to cooling activity across several sectors, including housing, manufacturing, and consumer spending. While employment levels remain relatively stable, wage growth has not kept pace with inflation, squeezing household budgets. The slowdown reflects broader national trends, but regional factors such as reduced timber output and declining tech sector expansion are contributing to the state’s unique challenges. Policymakers are monitoring revenue forecasts closely, as lower-than-expected tax collections could impact funding for public services. Despite these headwinds, Oregon maintains a diversified economic base, and officials are exploring strategies to support small businesses and workforce development. The coming months will be critical in determining whether the state experiences a soft landing or enters a more pronounced downturn.
