Oregon Job Outlook

The state of Oregon has many educational opportunities for prospective students, whether they plan to attend a four-year school or a two-year school. The Oregon University System, which is comprised of seven public universities, contains the largest university in the state of Oregon, Portland State University. Portland State University is located in downtown Portland, and it has a total enrollment of around 30,000 students.

In addition to the Oregon University System, there are also 17 community colleges that operate within the state, as well as numerous private schools. Oregon’s many private institutions are an equal mix of schools with religious affiliations and non-religious liberal arts colleges. Private colleges and universities in Oregon include George Fox University, Pioneer Pacific College, and Reed College, among others.

Oregon’s wide selection of post-secondary educational institutions prepare students for careers in the state’s main industries. Historically, Oregon’s economy was resource-based, but in the past 20 years, the state has made an attempt- with varying levels of success- to transition to a mixed manufacturing and marketing economy with a focus on high technology. Oregon is also one of the nation’s most trade dependent states.
