Trade has been an integral aspect of life in Oregon, significantly contributing to the economy and providing employment opportunities for many residents. The Port of Portland, founded in 1891, showcases the state's historical commitment to global trade and its continuing impact on local families. From agriculture to high-tech manufacturing, the diverse job market connected to trade supports communities from Astoria to Umatilla County, emphasizing the importance of this sector in driving economic development in the region.
Oregon has always been a place where trade isn't just business - it's a way of life. Hundreds of thousands of people across the state, from Astoria to Umatilla County, rely on jobs tied to trade, whether in high-tech manufacturing or agriculture.
