Statement by Governor Ted Kulongoski on Revenue Forecast
“Last week Oregon’s new employment numbers told a story – the story that Oregon is on the right track. Our unemployment rate is the lowest in four years, employment numbers are at a record high, and Oregon is home to the nation’s sixth fastest growing economy.
“Today’s revenue forecast continues to tell that story, and tells us that we’re not only on the right track, but that we’re making measurable progress toward our goal of sustained economic prosperity that will provide greater opportunities for our children and their future.
“By investing in public works projects, infrastructure and education – from pre-school through graduate school – we have fueled the creation of more than 81,000 jobs over the last three years and we are building a strong new foundation for Oregon’s future.
“Today’s numbers further affirm that these targeted investments are delivering the results we want – to grow Oregon’s economic pie.”
