Oregon’s unemployment rate declined to 14.2 percent in May from April’s 14.9 percent. Oregon Employment Department Senior Economic Analyst Anna Johnson said there were limited job gains in May, but that still leaves thousands without a job. During May, statewide and county-specific guidelines for reopening businesses fostered increases in customer demand within leisure and hospitality and also allowed elective and routine medical procedures, leading to job increases in those areas. But durable goods manufacturing and local government education sectors saw significant job losses in May.
