Where are Oregon’s RV workers?

(July 23, 2012) -- There are a number of possible reasons for the 2,651 former RV manufacturing workers that were not found in the Oregon UI wage records in the third quarter of 2011. Considering the severity of the recession and weak recovery that followed, it is likely most of these workers were either unemployed, had moved out of the state, or gained employment in a noncovered industry such as agriculture or through self-employment.
