Oregon’s tech industry appears to have plateaued

Job and wage growth in Oregon’s tech sector has slowed considerably, and the industry’s share of the state’s employment market is shrinking, according to new research from Josh Lehner, an Oregon state economist.

Technology employers helped lead Oregon out of the Great Recession, with big gains in jobs and wages from 2009 through 2013. The industry became as important to Oregon’s economy as the wood products industry was in its heyday during the 1970s.
