October employment report shows Oregon gained 9,900 jobs Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Nov. 18, 2014 at 10:47 AM Posted Nov. 18, 2014 at 10:47 AM » Social News SALEM — State figures show that Oregon employers went on a hiring spree this fall, adding nearly 10,000 jobs in October. The state Employment Department said Tuesday that's the largest one-month gain in jobs since August 1995, when more than 10,400 jobs were added. The agency said hiring was particularly strong in three sectors: manufacturing, health care, and professional and business services. In all there were 9,900 new jobs recorded from a survey of employers. The figure is seasonally adjusted. Despite the job gains, the unemployment rate didn't budge from 7 percent. It's been about that level for months. That's because as hiring has gotten stronger, people who hadn't been looking for work have been flooding back into the job market. — Associated Press MailTribune.com Writer Posted Nov. 18, 2014 at 10:47 AM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
