Foreword
This document contains the Oregon economic and revenue forecasts. The Oregon economic
forecast is published to provide information to planners and policy makers in state agencies and
private organizations for use in their decision making processes. The Oregon revenue forecast is
published to open the revenue forecasting process to public review. It is the basis for much of the
budgeting in state government.
The report is issued four times a year; in March, June, September, and December.
The economic model assumptions and results are reviewed by the Department of Administrative
Services Economic Advisory Committee and by the Governor's Council of Economic Advisors.
The Department of Administrative Services Economic Advisory Committee consists of 15
economists employed by state agencies, while the Governor's Council of Economic Advisors is a
group of 12 economists from academia, finance, utilities, and industry.
Members of the Economic Advisory Committee and the Governor's Council of Economic
Advisors provide a two-way flow of information. The Department of Administrative Services
makes preliminary forecasts and receives feedback on the reasonableness of such forecasts and
assumptions employed. After the discussion of the preliminary forecast, the Department of
Administrative Services makes a final forecast using the suggestions and comments made by the
two reviewing committees.
The results from the economic model are in turn used to provide a preliminary forecast for state
tax revenues. The preliminary results are reviewed by the Council of Revenue Forecast Advisors.
The Council of Revenue Forecast Advisors consists of 15 specialists with backgrounds in
accounting, financial planning, and economics. Members bring specific specialties in tax issues
and represent private practices, accounting firms, corporations, government (Oregon Department
of Revenue and Legislative Revenue Office), and the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors.
After discussion of the preliminary revenue forecast, the Department of Administrative Services
makes the final revenue forecast using the suggestions and comments made by the reviewing
committee.
Readers who have questions or wish to submit suggestions may contact the Office of Economic
Analysis by telephone at 503-378-3405.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
September 2012
Oregon Economic Forecast
Current Conditions
Oregon’s economic expansion is still intact for now, but remains at risk, and is losing steam due
to weakness in global demand for our products. To date, local labor markets have slowly
improved along with the nation overall, resulting in a slowly declining unemployment rate.
Although economic growth in Oregon has continued at roughly the same slow pace since the
recovery began, the forces driving this growth have recently changed. In particular, the regional
housing market is beginning to show signs of life, which is helping to offset weaker market
conditions among many of Oregon’s major manufacturers and exporters.
The fact that improvement continues is encouraging. However, the threat of external shocks has
placed a burden on businesses and households, leading many to pull back on their spending out
of caution. The euro zone recession – and potential crisis – in addition to the slowdown in China
and an uncertain U.S. federal policy environment represent three very large risks to the global
outlook. These risks are hard to handicap from a planning perspective and have created an
exorbitant amount of uncertainty about the future. As a result, future plans are being delayed
with businesses and individuals holding off on making long-term investments.
Outlook
Despite all of the uncertainty, the economic outlook for Oregon remains positive. It is likely that
the U.S. economic recovery can survive any one of these external shocks if faced in isolation.
However, even if all of the external threats facing Oregon are resolved in a painless manner, the
uncertainty they have caused can be expected to weigh on growth. By taking a wait-and-see
approach, firms and households are ensuring that some degree of a slowdown will occur. Should
they not see anything too drastic; the expected slowdown will remain just that, and not transition
into something worse.
Due to a recent string of weak manufacturing, consumer spending, and trade data, a broad
consensus of economic forecasters has become more pessimistic about future growth prospects.
Similarly, the Office of Economic Analysis outlook reflects somewhat weaker expectations for
growth over the next two years. Despite the revised growth rates, the general character of
Oregon’s lackluster economic outlook has not changed, with more of the same, slow
improvement expected going forward.
During the recovery so far, Oregon’s employment has grown at just under the state’s long run
trend rate, or approximately 1.2 percent annually. While growing at trend – which includes both

6

expansions and recessions – is better than not, this is less than half of a typical expansion year’s
growth. The private sector has added jobs at a 1.5 percent pace since late 2010, which again is
just about half of the past two expansions’ pace.
The economy has faced two major drags in recent years: housing and government. After
contracting 30 percent during the recession and losing a further 1.5 percent from early 2010 to
early 2011, housing-related jobs have begun to grow again. While the pace of hiring is slow,
simply having the housing sector turn from a negative aspect of the economy to a neutral or
slightly positive aspect is more than welcome news. The news is less good on the public sector
side. Government job cuts have not ended, holding down the headline employment numbers
statewide. Although the losses have not stopped, government job cuts in recent months have
been less severe than a year ago.
The vast majority of the public sector cuts have occurred at the local government education level
– K-12 and community colleges – and the economic outlook calls for another round of cuts this
coming school year. Next year, expectations are for public sector employment to stabilize with
the sector gradually turning from a negative to a positive contributor to employment growth.
Growth in housing-related industries and a stabilization of government payrolls is particularly
good news for rural Oregon. Recent differences in the economic performance of counties across
Oregon are expected to lessen going forward. As the housing market continues to heal and state
and local governments stop cutting back, drags on economic growth in rural areas will lessen.
Farm income remains healthy, and market conditions are stabilizing for many wood product
firms. Expectations are not for strong growth, but at least a sustained upturn in many areas that
have missed out on the recovery thus far.
All told, slow growth will continue to be the norm. The manufacturing cycle is past its peak, and
Oregon’s major trading partners are ordering fewer of our goods. Consumers will not save the
day, since many still need to fix their household balance sheets by saving more or paying down
debt. Recent improvements in labor markets and housing markets will help the expansion persist,
but will not be enough to generate strong growth.
Summary of Recent Trends
Getting a handle on the health of Oregon’s labor market is being somewhat complicated by
technical issues within the underlying payroll jobs data. Technical issues aside, employment in
Oregon continues to increase at a slow, subdued pace through early 2012, approximately in line
with the gains seen at the U.S. level.
The employment data discussed in this report is adjusted for two important technical purposes:
seasonality and the upcoming benchmark revisions 1.After adjustments, the data reveals a state
that continues to expand slowly, adding nearly 19,000 jobs in the past year (1.2% through
2012q2), instead of a state that is close to stagnating, adding only 11,500 jobs in the past year
(0.7%).

Over the past year, job growth has been widespread across industries, with only transportation
equipment manufacturers and financial service firms seeing small declines in the private sector.
Public sector employment fell by more than 2.0 percent over the same period. The largest gains
have been in professional and business services and leisure and hospitality, which increased by
approximately 7,400 and 3,100, respectively, from 2011q2 to 2012q2. Health services and
construction each added between 2,500 and 3,000 jobs over the past year. These four main
industry groups account for approximately 63 percent of all private sector gains, with
manufacturing accounting for another 13 percent, or 3,200 jobs. Within manufacturing, gains
were led by durable goods, particularly metals and machinery.
Similar to the employment data, leading indicators for Oregon have moved in fits and starts in
recent years. Following growth in late 2011 through early 2012, Oregon’s leading indicators
declined sharply in June. However, the index remains positive on a six-month growth basis,
which is consistent with an expanding economy in the near future. The overall index was led
downward by large movements in a handful of indicators most affected by the global economic
weakness Most indicators, including measures of the health of Oregon’s job market, point to
continued growth.
Demographic Forecast

Oregon’s population count on April 1, 2010 was 3,831,074. Oregon gained 409,550 persons
between the years 2000 and 2010. The population growth during the decade of 2000 to 2010 was
12.0 percent, down from 20.4 percent growth from the previous decade. Oregon’s rankings in
terms of decennial growth rate dropped from 11th between 1990-2000 to 18th between 2000 and
2010. Slow population growth during the most recent decade due to double recessions probably
cost Oregon one additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Actually, Oregon’s
decennial population growth rate during the most recent decade was the second lowest since
1900. The slowest, actually negative, was during the 1980s when Oregon was hit hard by another
recession. As a result of recent economic downturn and sluggish recovery, Oregon’s population
is expected to continue a slow pace of growth in the near future. Based on the current forecast,
Oregon’s population will reach 4.25 million in the year 2020 with an annual rate of growth of
1.03 percent between 2010 and 2020.
Oregon’s economic condition heavily influences the state’s population growth. Its economy
determines the ability to retain local work force as well as attract job seekers from national and
international labor market. As Oregon’s total fertility rate remains below the replacement level
and deaths continue to rise due to ageing population, long-term growth comes mainly from net
in-migration. Working-age adults come to Oregon as long as we have favorable economic and
employment environments. During the 1980s, which included a major recession and a net loss of
population, net migration contributed to 22 percent of the population change. On the other
extreme, net migration accounted for 73 percent of the population change during the booming
economy of 1990s. This share of migration to population change declined to 56 percent in 2002
and it was further down to 32 percent in 2010. As a sign of slow to modest economic gain, the
ratio of net migration-to-population change will increase gradually and will reach 72 percent by
the end of the forecast horizon. Although economy and employment situation in Oregon look
stagnant at this time, migration situation is not expected to replicate the early 1980s pattern of

8

negative net migration. Potential Oregon out-migrants have no better place to go since other
states are also in the same boat in terms of economy and employment.
Age structure and its change affect employment, state revenue, and expenditure. Demographics
are the major budget drivers, which are modified by policy choices on service coverage and
delivery. Growth in many age groups will show the effects of the baby-boom and their echo
generations during the period of 2010-2020. It will also reflect demographics impacted by the
depression era birth cohort combined with diminished migration of the working age population
and elderly retirees. After a period of slow growth during the 1990s and early 2000s, the elderly
population (65+) has picked up a faster pace of growth and will surge as the baby-boom
generation continue to enter this age group. The average annual growth of the elderly population
will be 3.9 percent during the forecast period as the boomers continue to enter retirement age.
However, the youngest elderly (aged 65-74) will grow at an extremely fast pace during the
forecast period, averaging 4.9 percent annual rate of growth due to the direct impact of the babyboom generation entering the retirement age. Reversing several years of shrinking population,
the elderly aged 75-84 will start a positive growth as the effect of depression era birth-cohort will
dissipate. A faster pace of growth of population in this age group will begin once the baby-boom
generation starts to mature. The oldest elderly (aged 85+) will continue to grow at a moderately
but steady rate due to the combination of cohort change, continued positive net migration, and
improving longevity. The average annual rate of growth for this oldest elderly over the forecast
horizon will be 1.4 percent.
As the baby-boom generation matures out of oldest working-age cohort combined with slowing
net migration, the once fast-paced growth of population aged 45-64 will gradually taper off to
below zero percent rate of growth by 2012 and will remain at slow or below zero growth phase
for several years. The size of this older working-age population will remain virtually unchanged
at the beginning to the end of the decade. The 25-44 age group population is recovering from
several years of declining and slow growing trend. The decline was mainly due to the exiting
baby-boom cohort. This age group has seen positive growth starting in the year 2004 and will
increase by 1.2 percent annual average rate during the forecast horizon. The young adult
population (aged 18-24) will change only a little over the forecast period and remain virtually
unchanged for most of the years into the future. Although the slow or stagnant growth of collegeage population (age 18-24), in general, tend to ease the pressure on public spending on higher
education, college enrollment typically goes up during the time of high unemployment and
scarcity of well-paying jobs when even the older people flock back to college to better position
themselves in a tough job market. The growth in K-12 population (aged 5-17) will remain low
which will translate into slow growth in school enrollments. This school-age population has
actually declined in size in recent years and will grow in the future at well below the state
average. The growth rate for children under the age of five will remain below zero percent in the
near future and will see positive growth only after 2013. Although the number of children under
the age of five will decline slightly in the near future, the demand for child care services and preKindergarten program will be additionally determined by the labor force participation and
poverty rates of the parents. Overall, elderly population over age 65 will increase rapidly
whereas population groups under age 65 will experience slow growth in the coming decade.
Hence, based solely on demographics of Oregon, demand for public services geared towards

9

children and young adults will likely to increase at a slower pace, whereas demand for elderly
care and services will increase rapidly.
Revenue Forecast

Summary
The weaker outlook for economic growth translates directly into a weaker outlook for Oregon’s
primary General Fund revenue sources. Most notably, personal income tax collections are
expected to be more than 2% smaller over the extended forecast horizon than what was reflected
in the June 2012 forecast.
With fewer jobs expected, taxes related to labor income are expected to grow at a slower rate.
Reductions in the outlook for taxes withheld out of workers’ paychecks mirror reductions in the
outlook for wage earnings. Forecasts have been reduced by much more for some volatile income
tax sources including capital gains and corporate excise taxes. In addition to personal income
taxes, consumer spending on video lottery and tobacco products is also now expected to be
weaker than what was reflected in the June 2012 forecast.
Although the long-term revenue forecast has been reduced significantly, the outlook for the
current biennium remains on track. Over the last three months, General Fund revenue collections
have come in somewhat stronger than expected. Also, it will take several months before the
expected weakness in economic growth becomes fully reflected in lower tax collections.
Overall, General Fund revenue growth is expected to remain slow, growing by 11% during 201113 and in each of the next two biennia. During past periods of economic expansion in Oregon,
revenues have grown by 15% to 20% in a typical biennium.
Revenue growth in Oregon and other states will face considerable downward pressure over the
10-year extended forecast horizon. As the baby boom population cohort works less and spends
less, traditional state tax instruments such as personal income taxes and general sales taxes will
become less effective, and revenue growth will fail to match the pace seen in the past.
2011-13 General Fund Revenues
Growth in general fund revenues has not been remarkable over the summer months, but it has
been healthy. Personal income taxes are growing due to a mix of both labor and investment
income, and corporate excise taxes appear to have stabilized after dropping sharply early in the
biennium.
Collections of most major revenue types came in stronger than what was expected over the
summer. Although a weaker economy is already manifesting itself in tax collections, it will take
some time before slower economic growth is fully reflected in the revenue outlook. As a result,
the revenue outlook for the 2011-13 biennium is somewhat stronger than what was predicted in
the June 2012 forecast. The forecast for General Fund revenues for 2011-13 is now $13,921
million. This represents an increase of $88 million (0.6%) from the June 2012 forecast.

The forecast for the 2011-13 biennium is now $111 million below the Close of Session forecast.
Given the strong employment gains seen in early 2011, the Close of Session forecast is more
optimistic than other versions produced before or since. Nevertheless, given lackluster near-term
expectations for revenue growth, a strong April 2013 of tax collections would put us back on
track with the Close of Session’s relatively optimistic outlook. If we see a boom similar to the
last revenue cycle, the personal income tax kicker may yet come into play.
Personal Income Tax

Personal income tax collections were $1,836 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012,
$29.4 million (1.6%) above the latest forecast. Compared to the year-ago level, total personal
income tax collections grew by 3.7% relative to a forecast that called for 2.1% growth. Personal
income tax collections have continued to come in higher than forecast during the current quarter.
Appendix B presents a comparison of actual and projected personal income tax revenues for the
fourth quarter of 2012.
Personal income tax collections are expected to remain weak until the April 2013 filing season
when the gains seen in stock markets this year are realized for tax purposes. Further taxable
capital gains realizations will be generated by taxpayers attempting to move their assets ahead of
potential federal tax increases in 2013. Very few collections related to filers who receive
extensions are expected this year, with payments expected to fall and refunds to rise.

11

Corporate Excise Tax

Corporate excise tax collections equaled $172 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012,
$12.4 million above the June forecast. Compared to one year ago, net corporate receipts were
down 1.6% with the forecast calling for an 8.7% decline.
Corporate tax collections are expected to continue to decline throughout fiscal year 2013, as they
remain very large from an historical perspective. Very strong growth is expected during the
2013-15 biennium, since corporate tax collections are prone to boom-bust cycles. However,
growth rates, while large, will remain less than half of what has been seen during recent profit
booms.
Other Sources of Revenue

All other General Fund revenues are expected to total $1,122 million for the 2011-13 biennium,
an increase of $23 million (2.1%). Most revenue sources are tracking ahead of the June forecast,
including large contributions from estate taxes, judicial-related revenues and liquor
apportionment. Only revenues from the sale of tobacco products and video lottery sales are
tracking significantly below forecast. 2

General Fund revenues will total $15,455 million in 2013-15, an increase of 11.0% percent from
the prior period, and $223 million (-1.4%) below the March forecast. In 2015-17, revenue growth
is expected to remain stable at 11.2%, followed by slower rates of 9% to 10% in subsequent
biennia. The slowdown in long-run revenue growth is largely due to the impact of demographic
changes.

ECONOMIC FORECAST

September 2012
While economic growth continues in fits and starts, an underlying positive trend remains intact.
The nation’s GDP has grown about 2 percent per year for the past three years and payroll
employment gains have averaged 150,000 per month. Certainly, these figures make for a
disappointing recovery, but they do not make for a disaster.
This edition of the National Economic Review and Forecast contains excerpts from Nigel Gault,
U.S. Economy: Current Situation: Forecast Flash, IHS Global Insight, July 2012. This
publication summarizes Global Insight’s baseline national forecast that OEA uses as a starting
point for the Oregon economic and revenue models. OEA summarizes the Forecast Flash and is
our interpretation of this document. Any errors or misrepresentations are attributable to OEA.
A.

National Economic Review and Forecast

Slowdown or Something Worse?
The U.S. manufacturing sector in June and July finally felt the global slowdown as the ISM
manufacturing index dropped below the breakeven point of 50. While most manufacturing
indices around the world had already slowed, the U.S. held up longer than the majority of the
advanced economies. The nonmanufacturing ISM index remained above 50 but did show signs
of slowing. Central banks, such as China and the ECB, are cutting interest rates, or extending
unconventional easing, such as the Bank of England, but the potency of these actions is unclear.
Worse to Come? Do these data point to worse things to come? Or are we, once again, in a
temporary soft patch in the recovery? IHS Global Insight and the general economic consensus
take the latter view. The U.S. economy is still above recessionary readings and not all of the
news is bad. Both residential and nonresidential construction activity is increasing. The gasoline
price drop from April through June was a welcomed boost to consumers to the tune of about
0.5% of disposable income – although prices are once again rising. Overall economic and
employment growth is likely to remain modest. The macroeconomic outlook has been nudged
slightly lower and the probability of recession in the near term has risen to 25%.
Second Quarter GDP Growth Now Pegged at Just 1.5% IHS Global Insight lowered its
projected in second quarter growth to just 1.5% ahead of the official data release, which showed
the domestic economy expanding at 1.5%. IHS Global Insight expects GDP growth to average
2% in the second half of the year, led by consumer spending and housing activity.
External Shocks Remain the Biggest Risk. The baseline forecast continues to assume Greece
exits the European Monetary Union in 2013; an earlier exit would threaten turmoil as it would
13

likely intensify pressure on both Italy and Spain. Even without an early Grexit, the Eurozone
crisis could worsen particularly if the economic data continues to be bad. The slowdown in
China could also intensify. And a confrontation with Iran has not disappeared from a geopolitical risk, which would impact oil prices. Within the U.S. the “fiscal cliff” continues to cloud
the outlook but remains an entirely avoidable calamity. IHS Global Insight estimates that under
the worse case “cliff” scenario that the economy would contract 0.3% in 2013. Given the
severity of the cliff’s consequences, it is expected that an extension of current policies remains
the likely outcome. Meaning that the baseline forecast assumes neither the Bush tax cuts nor the
payroll tax cut expire in 2013 and the sequestration does not go ahead.
Healthcare Reform Survives for Now. The Supreme Court’s ruling on the healthcare reform has
no impact of the baseline forecast. The reform may still unravel, of course, if Republicans are
sufficiently powerful after the November elections. Or if many states opt out of the Medicaid
expansion.
The Fed: More Quantitative Easing Still on the Table. The Federal Reserve has again lowered
its economic outlook, including inflation, and has also extended “Operation Twist” through the
end of 2012. “Twist” – as you may recall – is the process in which the Fed buys longer term
government securities and sells shorter term securities. IHS Global Insight believes the Fed
continues to be too optimistic on growth and will likely follow up with more action once the
twist expires. The forecast assumes $500 billion worth of quantitative easing in 2013. Should
growth be even weaker in 2012 of if the Eurozone crisis intensifies, this easing is likely to be
brought forward.

International Review and Outlook

This edition of the International Review and Outlook contains information written by Payton Odom,
Research Analyst, and Valerie Grossman, Research Assistant, with the Federal Reserve Bank of
Dallas. The following section was originally published as the International Economic Update, dated
August 3, 20123, and is reprinted here in accordance with the Bank’s disclaimer and privacy policy.
Near-term forecasts for global gross domestic product (GDP) growth have been revised downward
in most advanced and emerging economies, with uncertainty surrounding the euro area continuing
to restrain growth prospects.
With Spain’s and Italy’s financial stability in question and China’s second-quarter growth rates
lower than expected, central banks in advanced and emerging economies have lowered benchmark
policy rates to stimulate flagging midyear output and employment growth numbers. While the
United States is experiencing a positive, albeit moderate, recovery from the global financial crisis,
the threat of sovereign debt contagion in the euro area is tempering growth and feeding uncertainty.
Financial imbalances, structural impediments to growth and policy uncertainty continue to
contribute to a negative outlook for the euro area. The 17 euro-area states have widely varying
financial situations. An examination of balances in the region’s TARGET cross-border central bank
payment system provides evidence that periphery economies such as Spain and Italy are relying on
the European Central Bank and core members such as Germany for bank liquidity. This reliance has
created large payment deficits between debtor and creditor countries, exacerbating political tensions
and revealing the need for structural reform.
Core countries have not escaped the threat of sovereign debt contagion, however: Moody’s has
lowered its outlook for Germany from stable to negative amid concerns that Greece may leave the
euro area and that Germany may be charged with the responsibility of providing more funds to the
euro-area periphery.
After reaching a yield of 7.18 percent on June 18, rates for Spain’s 10-year government bond
hovered slightly below the 7 percent mark for much of June and July, rose to a record high of 7.63
percent on July 24 and then fell back under 7 percent. Italy has also experienced rising borrowing
costs. The rise in yields has drawn attention to these two countries’ financial situations. European
finance ministers agreed to a bailout for the Spanish government of up to €100 billion, but several
regional governments, unable to pay civil-service wages or service debt payments, are now asking
for assistance from Madrid as well. The size of Spain’s and Italy’s debt markets in comparison to
those in Greece and Portugal suggests a higher capacity to absorb increased debt servicing costs and
avoid default.
Adding to the global uncertainty stemming from the euro area are recent allegations that major
investment banks manipulated the benchmark London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to
misrepresent their risk portfolios. LIBOR is the most commonly used benchmark for short-term
interest rates, serving as the base rate for $800 trillion in mortgages, loans and investments. Doubts
concerning the accuracy of benchmark rates could serve as an additional drag on investor

Monetary Policy Eases with Global Inflation Pressures
With inflationary pressures mostly low across advanced and emerging economies, monetary
authorities in many countries are responding to the recent growth slowdown by lowering benchmark
policy rates. The Bank of England, which already has a record low rate of 0.5 percent, has little
room to enact rate changes. The bank left its rate unchanged and instead pledged a round of
quantitative easing on July 5, adding £50 billion to an asset-purchase program that now totals £375
billion. The European Central Bank followed suit, lowering its main lending rate 25 basis points to
0.75 percent and its deposit rate to zero.
Emerging economies also tried to stave off spillover effects from the euro-area crisis by easing
monetary policy. On July 5, China unexpectedly lowered its lending rate 31 basis points to 6
percent and its deposit rate 25 basis points to 3 percent following a rate cut in June. Brazil cut its
policy rate to a record low of 8 percent on July 11; South Africa unexpectedly lowered its policy
rate 50 basis points to a record low of 5 percent on July 19.
Major Emerging Economies Still Feel Chill from Euro Area
A closer examination of the impetus for China’s policy rate cuts reveals that the pace of economic
growth in China is slowing. China’s manufacturing purchasing managers index, though up to 49.5
from 48.2 in June, still lies in contractionary territory. Moreover, in the second quarter, China’s
year-over-year GDP growth rate dropped to 7.6 percent, a pace last seen in 2009. The International
Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts real GDP growth rates slightly above 8 percent for China through
2017.
With declining inflationary pressures accompanying softer GDP growth, investors remain uncertain
as to whether China’s slowdown is indicative of a soft landing or a more pronounced trend. China
isn’t the only emerging-market economy experiencing slowing growth. While emerging economies
are seeing stronger growth than advanced economies, economic activity has decelerated, and the
IMF revised its 2012 and 2013 growth forecasts downward for the BRIC economies (Brazil, Russia,
India and China) in July.
Global Problem Depends on European Solution
The wide-reaching effects of the euro-area crisis are evident through trade and financial linkages
across the globe, and GDP growth forecasts have been lowered in response to continued uncertainty
in the region. Resolution of the region’s most pressing problems is riding on credible fiscal and
structural reform commitments in the euro area, and a renewed pace of growth appears unlikely
without momentum from cooperative commitments between the area’s member governments. In the
second half of the year, both advanced and emerging economies are expected to see continued
modest growth, accompanied by low and stable inflationary pressures.

Oregon Exports
Overview
As discussed in the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas report, global growth has slowed – particularly
manufacturing activity. One result is a slowdown in international trade, including Oregon’s exports.
Overall, Oregon exports through the first half of 2012 are down 5.1 percent relative to their 2011

levels. As seen in Graph I.1, exports to some regions have held up. However, exports to Oregon’s
largest trading partners are flat or declining.
Given the state’s geographic location, it is no surprise that Oregon trades largely with fellow Pacific
Rim countries. For Asia, the manufacturing slowdown is clearly seen in Oregon’s export data.
Exports to China and Malaysia accounted for nearly 30 percent of all exports in 2011 and are
currently down over 28 percent so far through the first half of 2012. Exports to Japan and South
Korea represent 15 percent of the state’s total and are, effectively, flat on the year. All other Asian
exports – another 15 percent of all exports – have increased 6 percent in the past year due to
increased shipments of Computer and Electronic Products to Vietnam. All Asian economies
combined, representing 59 percent of Oregon export markets, have seen trade fall nearly 14 percent
so far in 2012.
Oregon exports to the rest of North America accounted for 19 percent of all exports in 2011, with
Canada representing over 70 percent of this segment. These exports continue to grow strongly so far
in 2012 to all three major North American destinations: Canada (+11%), Costa Rica (+57%) and
Mexico (+70%). Many of these regional exports are related to farm and mining equipment.
However, even if commodity prices come down, trade in the Americas should continue to increase
due to the relative strength of both the Canadian and Mexican economies.
Where Oregon export trends are most interesting is regarding trade with Europe. The euro zone has
fallen back into recession and the euro is weakening relative to the dollar and many other
currencies. Given the economic weakness in the monetary union, demand is falling. A depreciating
currency makes Oregon’s exports more expensive for Europeans, thus a decline in exports to the

19

region is not surprising. Conversely, Eurpoean countries not in the euro zone have seen their
currencies strengthen, and Oregon’s exports become more affordable. Generally, these economies
are doing better than their euro zone neighbors, and demand is increasing. However, the largest
gains in this category are exports to the United Kingdom. Given that the U.K. economy, while not
officially falling back into recession, is weaker than the U.S. economy, this significant increase may
be a blip related to the recent Olympics. Overall, Oregon exports to Europe represent approximately
11 percent of all exports in 2011 with the euro zone comprising two-thirds of this total.
Finally, exports to the rest of the world continue to increase, however represent a small portion of
Oregon’s total trade flows. Recent increases in exports to Australia represent the largest increase in
this category, primarily due to gains in motor vehicle shipments. The remainder of the increases
relate to gains in exports to both the Middle East (Isreal, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, U.A.E.) and South
America (Argentian, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru).

than the nation – the current
expansion is somewhat different given the nature of Oregon’s exports. As seen in Graph I.3 there
are essentially three trends going on in the detailed data that are masked by the total export figures.
High dollar value computer and

product
exports
typically compose around 40-45
percent of the state’s total value

recovery, exports of computer
and

products
increased over 70 percent from
their recessionary lows, driving
the state’s overall export growth.
Since then, these exports have

in 2010; however the past recent quarter saw another large gain and the industry is currently
exporting 40 percent more than during the depths of the recession.
The second underlying trend has been the overall strength in agricultural exports, even though they
remain very volatile due to commodity prices. Agricultural exports, chiefly grains, have remained
relatively steady in terms of the volume of exports, which is important from an economic impact
sense as the number of containers or barges loaded impacts the number of longshoremen or truck
drivers or warehouse space needed, rather than just the dollar value of exports. Even though the
quantity of exports has remained comparatively stable, the dollar value has not due to the large
commodity price swings experienced in recent years as can be seen in both Graph I.3 above and I.4
below.
The third main trend in Oregon exports has to do with all other industries. While these products
may not have driven export growth initially, they are now the state’s strongest due to their slow and
steady growth in the past three years. Currently, exports from all industries outside of agriculture
and computer and electronic products are over 70 percent above their recessionary lows and the
gains are broad based across industries. Both Chemicals and Machinery have each contributed 16
percentage points to Oregon’s overall export growth, while Wood Products and Paper Products
have contributed a further 9 percent. These four industries’ growth outpaces the combined growth
of Agriculture and Computer and Electronic Products (33 percent). Over the past three years, only
three industries (out of 32) have registered losses over the period and none have seen declines larger
than 0.7 percent.
All told, Oregon exports have
rebounded
strongly
from
recessionary lows in recent years,
and have reached a plateau at a
high level the past two years.
Expectations are for continued
growth across all industries in the
near future as global demand
picks up following the recent
slowdown.

is positive for nine of the top fifteen export industries. As mentioned above, computer and
electronic products have decreased over the past two years. Exports to the top three partner
countries in the industry (China, Costa Rica and Malaysia) account for almost two-thirds of
shipments, and fell sharply in 2011. So far in 2012 exports to China and Malaysia continue to
decline, while Costa Rica has seen gains. Overall, this industry is Oregon’s largest and most
important export sector, driven by the state’s cluster of high technology firms.

Exports of Transportation Equipment,

Table I.2 charts exports of Oregon
products to major destinations. For the
first six months of 2012, only seven
out of the top fifteen export markets
saw increases in trade. As discussed
previously, exports to China and
Malaysia have declined considerably
in recent years – partially a result of
within firm movements but also due to
the global high technology industry
cycle and weaker demand for
computer products. Exports to many
other countries have experienced a
slowdown. However, export gains to
Canada continue more or less
unabated, as seen in Graph I.5.
Canada was Oregon’s largest export
market for much of the past two
decades before being overtaken in
recent years by China. The Great
Recession took a heavy toll on
Canadian bound exports as the
dominant industries have traditionally
been transportation equipment and
wood products--two industries hit
especially hard by the financial crisis
and its aftermath. Growth in 2011 was
predominately driven by increases in
Transportation
Equipment
and
Computer and Electronic Products,
while Primary Metal Manufacturing,
Chemicals, Food and Paper also saw
strong gains. So far in 2012, the gains
are driven by manufactured machinery
primarily used for agriculture,
construction or mining and oil and gas.

Western Region

This section of the September 2012 forecast examines the economies of seven western states and
their relative performance to the U.S. overall. Gauging the health of local economies is important
for business planning purposes and looking at a wide range of data points can be useful. Below, you
will find tables analyzing how Oregon’s economy is fairing compared to the following western
states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Washington.
A little over three years removed from the depths of the 2008 recession, the regional economy is
pushing forward cautiously. Below are data tables, graphs, and accompanying descriptions covering
six important state-level economic indicators: employment, state coincident indexes (which are a
more complete measure of labor market health), state leading indexes, housing prices, exports, and
tax revenue.

Jan-12

Nearly all employment sectors showed positive growth on the year (Q2 2011 to Q2 2012), with the
exception of the public sector which declined in all western states except Arizona and Utah. While
the public sector remains a drag in most states, the recent trends are for smaller public sector cuts--a
hopeful sign that budgets are beginning to stabilize across the region.
Coincident Index
One useful local economic summary measure is the State Coincident Index, produced by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Each month the bank compiles and indexes data for each
state that combines nonfarm payroll employment, average hours worked in manufacturing, the
unemployment rate, and real wage and salary disbursements. As a coincident index, the data is
designed to report current economic conditions on a monthly basis, and is not a leading or a lagging
indicator.
23

Figure W.1
The economic activity go-light is a
faint green for Oregon and its
neighbors, while the country overall
has experienced slowing growth (see
Figure W.1). Much like the past two
years, economic growth in 2012 is
coming in fits and starts. A few
strong months followed by a few
weak months, even if the underlying
trend is slow and steady. Over the
past quarter, 47 states saw
increasing indexes. However, the
more recent one-month trends are
weak. In June, 35 states saw positive
month-over-month growth while in
July, only 22 saw positive growth. Table W.2

monthly by the Federal Reserve Bank
of Philadelphia and is designed to
predict the six-month growth rate of

housing
permits,
initial

growth over the coming six months. In March, 48 states had positive indices. Oregon’s leading
index was negative in June, which is consistent with -0.06 percent growth over the next six months,
compared to the nation’s projected growth of 1.0 percent. Oregon’s projected slowdown is primarily
driven by a decrease in housing permits issued in June. However this is not a grave concern given
that the sustained, underlying trend in permits is positive. May happened to be an exceptionally
large month for permits in Oregon, and when June’s figures fell back to trend, the state registered a
large negative over the month. Initial claims for unemployment insurance in Oregon continue to
decline. Across the region, California (1.6 percent), Utah (1.8 percent) and Washington (1.8
percent) are expected to grow faster than the nation, while Arizona (1.0 percent) and Idaho (0.8
percent) are projected to grow slightly slower.
Housing Price Index
One of the 2008 recession’s salient features was a brutal decline in home prices and new
construction activity. The property market crash has weighed heavily on housing-related
employment, and has also caused large drops in consumer wealth (restraining household spending),
and reduced the collateral available for entrepreneurship. Multiple levels of government stepped in
to prop up housing prices (re-zoning, encouraging immigration, house owner assistance, etc.), but
not until recently have the western states’ real-estate markets begun to reverse their declining trend.

experienced a slight decline in average house prices during the first quarter. However, prices in the
state have remained relatively steady the past year.

Total Exports (2012q2 YTD)

The global recession caused a sharp decline in international
trade throughout late 2008 and early 2009. However, exports
have since rebounded strongly for all western states. All
western states except Idaho and Oregon have seen export
growth through the first half of the year. Idaho’s figures are a
result of a slowdown in Computer and Electronic Products and
also a nearly 85 percent drop in Metal Ores. Conversely,

Nevada’s exceptional growth is due to gains in nonferrous metal production and processing,
excluding aluminum, the bulk of which goes to Switzerland. Overall, exports from Arizona, Idaho
and Oregon have yet to reach their pre-recession peak levels, although they are close. All other
western states and the nation have surpassed their pre-recession levels.
Tax Revenue
After being hit hard by the Great Recession, state and local tax revenues rebounded substantially in
2010 and 2011. However, early 2012 data is mixed across states (see Table W.5). Generally
speaking, personal income tax states have reached their pre-recession levels in terms of revenue
while most sales tax states have not quite recovered completely. Utah continued to see strong
revenue gains in 2012q1 due to increases in motor vehicles, personal income taxes and corporate
income taxes. Washington’s growth over the year is largely driven by general sales and gross
receipts taxes. All other western states experienced drops in revenue relative to 2011q1. However,
for the states that levy personal income taxes, like Arizona, California, Idaho, Oregon and Utah, the
second quarter is more important given the tax filing season.

Oregon Economic Review and Forecast

Current Conditions
Oregon’s economic expansion is still intact for now, but remains at risk, and is losing steam due to
weakness in global demand for our products. To date, local labor markets have slowly improved
along with the nation overall, resulting in a slowly declining unemployment rate.
Although economic growth in Oregon has continued at roughly the same slow pace since the
recovery began, the forces driving this growth have recently changed. In particular, the regional
housing market is beginning to show signs of life, which is helping to offset weaker market
conditions among many of Oregon’s major manufacturers and exporters.
The fact that improvement continues is encouraging. However, the threat of external shocks has
placed a burden on businesses and households, leading many to pull back on their spending out of
caution. The euro zone recession – and potential crisis – in addition to the slowdown in China and
the uncertain U.S. federal policy environment represent three very large risks to the global outlook.
These risks are hard to handicap from a planning perspective and have created an exorbitant amount
of uncertainty about the future. As a result, future plans are being delayed with businesses and
individuals holding off on making long-term investments.
Outlook
Despite all of the uncertainty, the economic outlook for Oregon remains positive. It is likely that the
U.S. economic recovery can survive any one of these external shocks if faced in isolation.
However, even if all of the external threats facing Oregon are resolved in a painless manner, the
uncertainty they have caused can be expected to weigh on growth. By taking a wait-and-see
approach, firms and households are ensuring that some degree of a slowdown will occur. Should
they not see anything too drastic; the expected slowdown will remain just that, and not transition
into something worse.
Due to a recent string of weak manufacturing, consumer spending, and trade data, a broad
consensus of economic forecasters has become more pessimistic about future growth prospects.
Similarly, the Office of Economic Analysis outlook reflects somewhat weaker expectations for
growth over the next two years. Despite the revised growth rates, the general character of Oregon’s
lackluster economic outlook has not changed, with more of the same, slow improvement expected
going forward.
During the recovery so far, Oregon’s employment has grown at just under the state’s long run trend
rate, or approximately 1.2 percent annually. While growing at trend – which includes both
expansions and recessions – is better than not, this is less than half of a typical expansion year’s
growth. The private sector has added jobs at a 1.5 percent pace since late 2010, which again is just
about half of the past two expansions’ pace.
The economy has faced two major drags in recent years: housing and government. After contracting
30 percent during the recession and losing a further 1.5 percent from early 2010 to early 2011,
housing-related jobs have begun to grow again. While the pace of hiring is slow, simply having the
housing sector turn from a negative aspect of the economy to a neutral or slightly positive aspect is
more than welcome news. The news is less good on the public sector side. Government job cuts

27

have not ended, holding down the headline employment numbers statewide. Although the losses
have not stopped, government job cuts in recent months have been less severe than a year ago.
The vast majority of the public sector cuts have occurred at the local government education level –
K-12 and community colleges – and the economic outlook calls for another round of cuts this
coming school year. Next year, expectations are for public sector employment to stabilize with the
sector gradually turning from a negative to a positive contributor to employment growth. For more
information on Oregon’s housing market or public sector employment trends, please visit out
office’s blog 4.
Summary of Recent Trends
Oregon’s Employment Trends
Getting a handle on the health of Oregon’s labor market is being somewhat complicated by
technical issues within the underlying payroll jobs data. Technical issues aside, employment in
Oregon continues to increase at a slow, subdued pace through early 2012, approximately in line
with the gains seen at the U.S. level.
The employment data discussed in this report is adjusted for two important technical purposes:
seasonality and the upcoming benchmark revisions 5. Given the relative strength of employment as
measured by data collected through the unemployment insurance program, it is clear that
preliminary payroll job counts will be revised upward significantly when benchmark adjustments
are made next year. Such preliminary revisions to the payroll survey data are regularly published in
some states, and are currently a topic of discussion at the Oregon Employment Department.
After adjustments, the data reveals a state that continues to expand slowly, adding nearly 19,000
jobs in the past year (1.2% through 2012q2), instead of a state that is close to stagnating, adding
only 11,500 jobs in the past year (0.7%).
Over the past year, job growth has been widespread across industries, with only transportation
equipment manufacturers and financial service firms seeing small declines in the private sector.
Public sector employment fell by more than 2.0 percent over the same period. The largest gains
have been in professional and business services and leisure and hospitality, which increased by
approximately 7,400 and 3,100, respectively, from 2011q2 to 2012q2. Health services and
construction each added between 2,500 and 3,000 jobs over the past year. These four main industry
groups account for approximately 63 percent of all private sector gains, with manufacturing

5
Each year the Oregon Employment Department and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revise the employment data –
a process known as benchmarking. The current establishment survey (CES), also known as the monthly payroll survey,
is benchmarked against the quarterly census of employment and wages (QCEW), a series that contains all employees
covered by unemployment insurance. The monthly CES is based on a sample of firms, whereas the QCEW contains
approximately 96 percent of all employees, or nearly a complete count of employment in Oregon. The greatest benefit
of the CES is the timeliness – monthly employment estimates are available with only a one month lag – and these
estimates are reasonably accurate. However the further removed from the latest benchmark, the larger the errors. The
QCEW is less timely as the data is released publically approximately 3-4 months following the end of the quarter. The
greatest benefit of the QCEW is that is a near 100 percent count of statewide employment. For these reasons, the CES is
usually used to discuss recent monthly employment trends, however once a year the data is revised to match the
historical QCEW employment trends. The last month of official benchmark data is June 2011. The QCEW is currently
available through March 2012, thus the preliminary benchmark used here covers the July 2011 – March 2012 period.

accounting for another 13 percent, or 3,200 jobs. Within manufacturing, gains were led by durable
goods, particularly metals and machinery.
Labor Market Rankings
The Office of Economic Analysis examines four main sources for jobs data: the monthly payroll
employment survey, the monthly household employment survey, monthly withholding tax receipts
and the quarterly census of employment and wages. Right now, all four of the sources are indicating
continued growth, although the monthly payroll employment survey is lagging somewhat relative to
the other data. Oregon’s labor market is improving right along with the nation overall, if not a little
bit faster.
The most recent job growth Figure O.1
rankings, published by Arizona
State University’s W.P. Carey
School of Business, places Oregon
26th in the nation for job growth.
Between July 2011 and July 2012, Oregon: 26th
jobs increased by 16,600, or 1.03
percent. Last July, Oregon ranked
27th. Washington’s growth has been
even stronger; measuring 1.9
percent of the past year. This ranks
13th best among all states. The
relative performance of the fifty
states is shown in Figure O.1.

percent, a ranking it also held a year
ago. Elsewhere in the region, California’s job gains ranked 2nd and Idaho’s 22nd among the 50
states.
Employment Growth by Metropolitan Size
Last quarter, part of our analysis focused on the differences between Portland and the rest of the
state. It was argued that much of rural Oregon has missed out on the economic recovery due to the
mix of industries in these areas. This quarter, the regional focus is on the different employment
growth patterns experienced by metropolitan areas. How much, if at all, does city size help explain
economic performance over the business cycle? Also, how do Oregon’s MSAs compare relative to
their national peers of similar size?
Portland is driving Oregon’s statewide employment growth while the other metropolitan areas and
more rural areas have yet to fully share in the recovery, if at all. Seattle and Washington largely
follow the same pattern. Portland and Seattle are large, urban centers that represent over 50 percent
of all jobs in their respective states. How have the other large metropolitan areas across the country
fared economically? Examining the 29 largest MSAs in the country – all metros with a population
larger than 2 million – reveals that each one has seen employment growth in recovery. Over twothirds of the largest cities, 20 out of 29, have experienced growth at least as strong as the national
average, with 8 cities – Portland and Seattle included – growing at least 50 percent stronger than the
national average in recovery.
29

Broadening the analysis to examine all U.S. metropolitan areas (totaling more than 370) reveals that
the representative (median) city from each size group have fared about the same. However, the
smaller cities – employment less than 50,000 – did lose more jobs during the recession than the
national average. Cities in the three largest groups – employment greater than 600,000 – also
typically saw larger losses, but also stronger gains so far in recovery. One reason for this is the fact
that larger cities turned around first, relative to cities of other sizes.
As seen in Graph O.2, it
does not appear that city size
had any particular affect on
when an MSA began losing
jobs as the Great Recession
was an equal opportunity
disaster. However, within
these groups there is
variation and those cities
that experienced a larger
housing boom and bust
typically went down first.

Two factors likely playing a
role in recovery are a city’s exposure to both housing and government, as previously discussed, the
two main economic drags this business cycle. Smaller cities have a larger share of their workforce
in both construction and government not because they have so many of these jobs, but rather
because they do not have as many other types of jobs (advertising firms and ballet dancers, as two
examples) to offset these industries. Given the severity of the housing downturn and government
austerity in recent years, having more local exposure to these two sectors has typically resulted in a
deeper recession and/or a slower recovery.
Turning to Oregon, Graph O.3 compares the economic performance of each Oregon MSA relative
to its national peers, based on city size. The red bars are the median city nationwide in each cohort.
Corvallis is outperforming its small metro peers. Portland is slightly more volatile than its peers, but

medium sized metros. Bend and Medford took an outsized hit during the recession – largely the
aftermath of their substantial housing downturns 6 – and have only come back slightly from their
employment lows. A similar story can be told for Eugene and Salem, however not quite as severe.
Stepping back and examining Bend, Eugene and Medford’s employment, it appears that they’re
continuing to bounce along the bottom with no sustained improvement. From their lowest points
each city has seen 1-2 percent employment growth. Salem is somewhat of a different story as it is
now clearly losing jobs again. Salem still has seen some job gains for the recovery as a whole, but
the recent trend is certainly negative.
The regional differences in economic performance across Oregon are expected to lessen going
forward. As the housing market continues to heal and state and local governments stop cutting back,
drags on economic growth in rural areas will lessen. Farm income remains healthy, and market
conditions are stabilizing for many wood product firms. Expectations are not for strong growth, but
at least a sustained upturn in many areas. 7
Employment in the Most Recent Quarter
Table O.1 shows a comparison of preliminary estimates for second quarter Oregon employment
growth compared to the June 2012 forecast. Unless noted otherwise, all percentage rates discussed
reflect annualized rates of change for second quarter 2012. When the preliminary estimate is lower
than OEA’s forecast, forecast error is shown as negative. Positive forecast error then means that the
preliminary estimate came in higher than OEA’s forecast. The preliminary estimate for second
quarter employment was slightly higher than forecast, however the growth rate was slightly lower
than forecast. This arises due to employment revisions to prior months, in particular, the preliminary
benchmark employment figures for the first quarter. Overall employment was 1,900 above forecast
for the quarter for an error of 0.1 percent. The second quarter continues the slow growth trend that
both Oregon and the U.S. have experienced since the depths of the recession in 2009. Some quarters
have exhibited stronger growth, and others weak, however the trend has been relatively steady for
the past two years.

Regional Trends
Total nonfarm employment in Oregon rose by 0.7 percent from the second quarter of 2011 to the
second quarter of 2012. This marked the state’s seventh consecutive quarter of positive year-overyear employment growth. Employment growth varied from one region of Oregon to the next. In the
second quarter of 2012, four regions experienced quarterly employment gains from the previous
year: the Portland area; Central Oregon; Southern Oregon; and the Northeastern region.
Employment declined between the second quarters of 2011 and 2012 in the Willamette Valley, the
South Central-Southeast region, the Columbia Gorge, and along the North Coast. Employment was
essentially flat over the year for the South Coast region.

continued to decline. In the second quarter of 2012, employment fell by 1.2 percent in the
Willamette Valley from the previous year.
In the second quarter of 2012, job losses were dispersed throughout the region. Linn County
(-1.7%) experienced the largest rate of employment decline, followed by Lane County (-1.2%). The
Salem metro area – which consists of Marion and Polk counties – posted a job loss of 1.1 percent.
In Benton County, losses totaled 1.0 percent.
In the second quarter of 2012, the Willamette Valley’s unemployment rate was 8.6 percent. The rate
dropped 0.9 percentage point from the previous year. The decrease was driven by a reduction in the
region’s labor force, rather than a

in
employment.

The region has largely followed the statewide figures over the past two decades. However with the
slow to no job growth, the unemployment rate is now above the statewide average in 2012 as seen
in the graph above.
North Coast:
Clatsop, Lincoln and Tillamook counties
Employment declines in Oregon’s northern coastal counties began in the fourth quarter of 2008.
After 12 quarters of year-over-year job losses, the North Coast returned to employment gains
(+0.4%) in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 (+0.8). However, the region
posted a slight decline (-0.2%) in the second quarter of 2012. Employment rose in Clatsop County
(+1.0%), but declined in Lincoln (-1.0%) and Tillamook (-1.0%) counties.

estimates show a higher rate of

Southern Oregon posted an unemployment rate of 11.1 percent in the second quarter of 2012, 1.2
percentage points below the level one year prior. As seen in the graph above, Southern Oregon’s
unemployment rate has generally been above both the state and national figures. The improvement
in the unemployment rate has largely matched the state’s improvement, however there has yet to be
a sustained upturn in the number of jobs in the region. Even though the region has stopped losing
jobs, the small gains in employment are not enough to drive down the unemployment rate quickly.

35

South Coast:
Coos and Curry counties
Quarterly employment declines began relatively early for the South Coast region, which posted its
first over-the-year loss in the fourth quarter of 2006. After reaching a maximum job loss of 6.9
percent over the year in the middle of 2009, declines eased, then quarterly job gains resumed in the
third quarter of 2010. Growth turned again though, and the South Coast posted four consecutive
quarters of year-to-year job declines. After coming back with year-to-year job gains of 1.3 percent
in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 1.2 percent in the first quarter of 2012, employment growth has
fallen off again. In the second quarter of 2012, employment was essentially flat from its level one
year prior.

Columbia Gorge:

The Columbia Gorge saw
comparatively light employment
impacts during the recession.
Quarterly employment declined
over the year from the first
quarter of 2009 through the first
quarter of 2010. After three
consecutive quarters of year-toyear job gains, employment
declined by 0.6 percent in the
Gorge between the second

Employment trends varied among the region’s five counties. While Wheeler (+0.6%) and Hood

Wasco (-1.1%), and Gilliam (-5.6%) counties.
The unemployment rate for the Columbia Gorge was 7.8 percent in the second quarter of 2012,
compared with 8.6 percent the previous year. As seen in the graph above, the region‘s
unemployment rate has been lower than both the nation’s and state’s rates this business cycle. The
current recession has not had a severe impact on employment in the region, unlike the rest of the
state. For more information on the region, please see our office’s blog post:

Central Oregon:
Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties
After 13 consecutive quarters of year-over-year employment declines – some as steep as 11.1
percent – during the recession, employment growth has returned to Central Oregon. In the second
quarter of 2012, the region posted an employment gain of 1.2 percent, the fourth consecutive yearto-year improvement for the region.

Northeastern Oregon:
Baker, Grant, Morrow, Umatilla, Union and Wallowa counties
The Northeast Oregon counties first saw quarterly over-the-year job losses at the beginning of 2008.
Losses did not reach the steep levels seen in other regions, but did persist through the fourth quarter
of 2010. After modest movements through most of 2011, year-over-year job gains picked up in the
fourth quarter of 2011 (+0.9%) and the first quarter of 2012 (+1.0%). In the second quarter of 2012,
the region’s employment improved from the previous year, but at a more modest 0.4 percent.
Employment growth in the second quarter of 2012 was concentrated in Umatilla (+1.3%) and Union
(+0.6%) counties. The rest of the Northeastern Oregon counties posted employment losses. The
biggest decline occurred in Grant

South Central and Southeast Oregon:

In the third quarter of 2010, South
Central and Southeast Oregon
broke 11 consecutive quarters of
year-over-year
employment
declines with a modest gain of 0.6
percent. Since then, the region has
seen job declines in almost every

2012, employment fell by 0.7
percent from the previous year.

The unemployment rate was 10.9 percent in the second quarter of 2012 for South Central and
Southeastern Oregon. The rate declined by 0.8 percentage point from the previous year, but that
decline resulted from reductions in the labor force rather than employment gains.

in June. The Oregon Dollar Index is again appreciating relative to our major trading partners. All
three indicators are reflecting the global manufacturing slowdown. Given that Oregon remains a
manufacturing state and an export-heavy state, these indicators are worrisome.
On the positive side, the health of the Oregon labor market continues to improve. New claims for
unemployment insurance continue to fall, while withholdings out of Oregonians’ paychecks
continue to increase. The gains in new housing permits should further aid future growth in the state.
Overall, the state’s leading indicators continue to signal growth in the near term.
Short-Term Outlook
Overview
Slow growth will continue to be the norm. The manufacturing cycle is past its peak, and Oregon’s
major trading partners are ordering fewer of our goods. Consumers will not save the day, since
many still need to fix their household balance sheets by saving more/paying down debt. Recent
improvements in labor markets and housing markets will help the expansion persist, but will not be
enough to generate strong growth.
Oregon Forecast Comparisons
Table O.2 compares OEA’s forecast to other published forecasts. While most forecasters see
improvements in jobs for 2012, our office predicts a more subdued increase than the consensus. The
local forecasts are available via the Western Blue Chip Economic Forecast published by Arizona
State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business for all forecasters except IHS Global Insight. A
similar story is apparent in the personal income forecasts, which the consensus expects, more or
less, constant growth in coming years, while our office has an income growth slowdown in 2012
built into the forecast.

Forecast Changes Relative to the June 2012 Forecast
Table O.4 provides a summary of forecast changes compared to the June 2012 forecast. The
character of the forecast remains the same however the short and medium term growth outlooks
have been lowered due to a more subdued forecast. The baseline still remains a slight improvement
in growth rates in 2013 through 2015 relative to 2011 and 2012 figures; however this improvement
is not quite as strong as predicted a few months ago.
The employment outlook in Oregon is essentially unchanged for 2012; however the downward
revisions are 0.8 percent in 2013 and 1.1 percent in 2014, before lessening over the rest of the
decade. The revisions are less industry specific in nature and reflect a more general weakness in the
outlook.
Personal income was lowered approximately one percent over the forecast horizon primarily due to
reduced forecasts for wages and salaries, a result of the lowered employment outlook. Overall, real
personal income was lowered by a smaller degree than total nominal personal income, due to the
slightly lower forecast for inflation. A reduced overall global economic outlook keeps downward
pressure on commodity prices and inflation more generally. It is important to point out that the
inflation outlook remains subdued by historical standards.
Housing starts in early 2012 have come in above forecast, leading to an upward revision to the very
near term outlook. The June forecast called for 8,600 housing starts in 2012, while the September
forecast now calls for 10,000 starts, an increase of 16 percent. However the medium and longer
term outlook for housing remains largely the same, with housing starts returning to their long-run
average level in 2016. Even with the near term upward revision, OEA still expects a very subdued
housing starts forecast. While housing construction is on the upswing (multi-family is strong and
single family is just beginning to improve somewhat), real improvements will not materialize until
late 2013 or early 2014 according to our forecast.
Similar to housing starts, the construction industry is gaining jobs faster than initially projected. The
outlook has been revised upward in the near term reflecting this strength. Our office’s outlook for
the sector as a whole remains stable. Even with job gains each year from 2011 through 2020, the
number of jobs in 2020 in the construction industry is still projected to be lower than the level of
jobs prior to the recession.
The manufacturing outlook has been lowered throughout the forecast horizon – from 2012 through
2021. While the sector continues to add jobs in Oregon today, the global manufacturing slowdown
will wash up on our shores, leading to a more subdued outlook.
Private nonmanufacturing employment has been lowered more than one percent from 2014-2020.
The downward revisions are largely across-the-board, but driven by the larger sectors. Retail Trade,
Professional and Business Services and Health Services all have weaker outlooks. The retail trade
revisions reflect a more subdued outlook for consumer purchases in brick and mortar stores. The
health services revisions reflect a slightly slower trend growth rate in the future. In recent decades,
employment growth in health services routinely topped 3 percent per annum. Over the forecast
horizon, this growth rate is lowered to approximately 2.5 percent. Health service remains the largest
employment sector in Oregon and a key driver of employment growth in the state, so any changes
made to the industry forecast are certainly seen in the top line numbers as well.

43

Government sector employment has similarly been revised downward approximately one half of
one percent. The demand for public services generally increases with population, and as such, a
lower population outlook results in slower increases in public sector growth.

Alternative Scenarios
The baseline forecast is our projection of the most likely outcome for the Oregon economy. As with
any forecast, however, many other scenarios are possible. Currently, risks are heightened
considerably and concentrated on the downside. The Optimistic scenario is one in which the
expansion gathers steam and employment and income growth accelerate throughout 2012 and into
2013. The Pessimistic scenario is one in which the U.S. (and Oregon) falls back into recession with
declining consumer spending and job losses. These scenarios are not based on statistical error band
calculations around the baseline forecast, but rather are based on business cycles that reflect likely
avenues for growth or potential causes of weakness in the near term.
Optimistic Scenario: The recovery gathers steam and pulls the economy away from recession and
into a stronger cyclical expansion. The economic lull seen in the second quarter proves temporary
and the U.S. economy builds momentum through the second half of the year. The economy is soon
firing on all cylinders. Economic growth is above potential in 2012 and 2013, resulting in stronger
job and income gains. The fiscal cliff is averted in 2013. U.S. policy makers extend both the payroll
tax cut and the emergency unemployment benefit program, providing a vital source of income for
liquidity-constrained households. Overall, stronger growth leads to more consumer spending and
more business investment.
In Oregon, job gains are broad based with strong growth in all private sector industries. Public
sector employment still contracts somewhat in the near term given the fixed budget outlook;
however, losses are smaller than in the baseline as improving tax revenues prevent the most severe
cutbacks. The unemployment rate declines faster than under the baseline scenario as individuals are
able to find employment more readily and income growth accelerates. The increase in employment
and income support a self-sustaining economic expansion in which new income fuels increased
consumer spending (and debt reduction) which begets further increases in employment. Such an
expansion increases housing demand as newly employed households (and increasing income for
existing households) find their own homes after doubling-up with family and friends during the
recession. This results in working down the existing inventory overhang more quickly and new
construction returns to normal levels by early 2015.
Pessimistic Scenario: A return to recession with declining GDP and job losses. While this scenario
would be categorized as a new recession, per the National Bureau of Economic Research, it will
feel more like a long, drawn-out double-dip given that the U.S. economy has not returned to
previous trends. The soft patch in the second quarter reflects fundamental weakness and is not
temporary. Errors on both sides of the Atlantic – from U.S. and European policy makers – turn the

46

fleeting recovery into recession. The current mild euro zone recession worsens, leading to financial
panic and contagion. Worldwide credit markets freeze, leading to declining consumer and business
confidence. In the U.S., Congress does not anticipate the dangers and political gridlock results in
premature austerity. The U.S. runs off the fiscal cliff, hereby leading to economic contraction in
early 2013.
Oregon would certainly join in any recession at the U.S. level. Although the likelihood of a
recession is uncomfortably high, a near term downturn would probably not be very pronounced.
Given the lackluster expansion to date, we do not have very far to fall. Few excesses have been built
up, and many cyclically sensitive industries such as construction have yet to recover at all.
As such, the magnitude of the recession would likely be fairly mild by historical standards.
However it certainly will not go unnoticed, especially given the underwhelming expansion to date.
Employment would decline throughout 2012 and into early 2013 with job losses of approximately
30,000, or 1.8 percent. This decline would roughly be on par with the 1990 recession in Oregon and
approximately half the depth of the 2001 recession in the state. However, this employment decline
would nearly erase all the job gains the state has seen in the past two and a half years. The
unemployment rate rises back to nearly 10 percent and remains above 9 percent through early 2015.
The unemployment rate does not fall below 8 percent until 2018, which would mark over eight full
years above that level.
Furthermore, the housing market would take longer to recover. Home prices decline another 11
percent, while new home construction’s rebound is delayed another year, resulting in further
sluggish growth in the near term. On the bright side, when construction does rebound, it will result
in a surge of new home building that will rise above the state’s long term average level of building
due to pent-up demand for housing and the fact that the state will have under built housing during
this time period.
Table O.5 details both the quarterly and annual outlook for select Oregon economic variables under
the two alternative scenarios. Graph O.7 illustrates these near-term scenarios for each of the
variables.

Forecast Risks
The economic and revenue outlook is never certain. We will continue to monitor and recognize the
potential impacts of risk factors on the Oregon economy. Although far from comprehensive, we
have identified several major risks now facing the Oregon economy in the list below:


Contagion of the European debt problems and financial market instability. The European
crisis looms large as a potentially catastrophic scenario. Credit markets are easing, but
consumers and businesses still have difficulty getting loans. To the extent that credit markets
take longer to come back to some sort of state of normalcy, the current recovery could be
49

slower than projected or thrown off track. In such a scenario, Oregon will suffer the
consequences along with the rest of the nation.


Prolonged housing market instability. Signs are starting to emerge that the housing market
has hit bottom, certainly in terms of housing starts, and increasingly so in prices, although
they may have further to fall. Foreclosures and delinquency rates are still relatively high.
Oregon, with the rest of the nation, will still see improvements to construction activity in
2012, but it will be many months yet before a tangible housing recovery kicks in. Until this
happens, the housing market will remain a barrier to a sustained economic recovery in
Oregon.



Commodity price inflation. Prices for many major commodities are trending down, but remain
atypically high. Future commodity prices will be tied to growth. Should the global expansion
pick up speed, a return to high rates of commodity inflation is possible.



Loss of federal timber payments to Oregon counties. While a temporary reinstatement will
help cover budgets for Oregon counties this year, replacing this dwindling revenue source is
imperative. The potential for large reductions in public services could have adverse impacts on
property values and economic activity. For more information from a historical perspective, see
this recent OEA blog post on the Wood Products industry in Oregon 9.



Global Spillovers Both Up and Down. The international list of risks seems to change by the
day: sovereign debt problems in Europe, equity and property bubbles in places like South
America and Asia, political unrest in the Middle East, and commodity price spikes and
inflationary pressures in emerging markets. In particular, with China now the top destination
for Oregon exports, the state of the Chinese economy has spillover effects to the Oregon
economy. The looming slowdown across much of Asia is a growing threat to the Pacific
Northwest’s growth prospects.



Undoing the Federal Policy Used to Combat the Financial Crisis and Recession. Bailouts,
tax cuts, monetary quantitative easing, and other fiscal packages most likely prevented a more
serious economic downturn. But the clean-up after the storm can have its own risks to the
economy. Exit strategies will have to be carefully implemented to prevent premature
tightening and choking off the recovery or acting too late to avoid an inflationary
environment. All states, including Oregon, face the same risks.



Initiatives, referendums, and referrals. Generally, the ballot box and legislative changes bring
a number of unknowns that could have sweeping impacts on the Oregon economy and
revenue picture.

Extended Outlook
IHS Global Insight projects Oregon’s economy to fare well relative to the rest of the country in the
coming years – 2012 through 2016. The state’s Real Gross State Product is projected to be the
eighth strongest with gains averaging nearly 3 percent. Total employment is expected to be the
seventh strongest among all states while manufacturing employment will lead the nation.
OEA is somewhat less bullish, but expects Oregon to maintain a growth advantage relative to other
states. However, this advantage will be somewhat smaller than the state has enjoyed in past
decades.
Oregon has typically benefitted from an influx of households from other states, including an ample
supply of skilled workers. Households continue to move to Oregon even when local jobs are scarce,
as long as the unemployment rate is equally bad elsewhere (particularly in California).
In addition to its dynamic labor supply, Oregon also enjoys the long-term advantages of low
electricity costs, a central location between the large markets of California, Vancouver and Asia,
clean water, low business rents and living costs, and an increasingly diverse industrial base.
The primary long-run concern for Oregon’s economy is that very little progress on raising per capita
income is projected out to 2020.
The Oregon Employment Department has published a detailed look at Oregon’s per capita personal
income entitled Why Oregon Trails the Nation; it can be found at:

REVENUE FORECAST

Summary
The weaker outlook for economic growth translates directly into a weaker outlook for Oregon’s
primary General Fund revenue sources. Most notably, personal income tax collections are expected
to be more than 2% smaller over the extended forecast horizon than what was reflected in the June
2012 forecast.
With fewer jobs expected, taxes related to labor income are expected to grow at a slower rate.
Reductions in the outlook for taxes withheld out of workers’ paychecks mirror reductions in the
outlook for wage earnings. Forecasts have been reduced by much more for some volatile income
tax sources including capital gains and corporate excise taxes. In addition to personal income taxes,
consumer spending on video lottery and tobacco products is also now expected to be weaker than
what was reflected in the June 2012 forecast.
Although the long-term revenue forecast has been reduced significantly, the outlook for the current
biennium remains on track. Over the last three months, General Fund revenue collections have
come in somewhat stronger than expected. Also, it will take several months before the expected
weakness in economic growth becomes fully reflected in lower tax collections.
Overall, General Fund revenue growth is expected to remain slow, growing by 11% during 2011-13
and in each of the next two biennia. During past periods of economic expansion in Oregon,
revenues have grown by 15% to 20% in a typical biennium.
Revenue growth in Oregon and other states will face considerable downward pressure over the 10year extended forecast horizon. As the baby boom population cohort works less and spends less,
traditional state tax instruments such as personal income taxes and general sales taxes will become
less effective, and revenue growth will fail to match the pace seen in the past.
A.

2011-13 General Fund Revenues

Growth in general fund revenues has not been remarkable over the summer months, but it has been
healthy. Personal income taxes are growing due to a mix of both labor and investment income, and
corporate excise taxes appear to have stabilized after dropping sharply early in the biennium.

Collections of most major revenue types came in stronger than what was expected over the summer.
Although a weaker economy is already manifesting itself in tax collections, it will take some time
before slower economic growth is fully reflected in the revenue outlook. As a result, the revenue
outlook for the 2011-13 biennium is somewhat stronger than what was predicted in the June 2012
forecast. The forecast for General Fund revenues for 2011-13 is now $13,921 million. This
represents an increase of $88 million (0.6%) from the June 2012 forecast.
The forecast for the 2011-13 biennium is now $111 million below the Close of Session forecast.
Given the strong employment gains seen in early 2011, the Close of Session forecast is more
optimistic than other versions produced before or since. Nevertheless, given lackluster near-term
expectations for revenue growth, a strong April 2013 of tax collections would put us back on track
with the Close of Session’s relatively optimistic outlook. If we see a boom similar to the last
revenue cycle, the personal income tax kicker may yet come into play.
Personal Income Tax
Personal income tax collections were $1,836 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, $29.4
million (1.6%) above the latest forecast. Compared to the year-ago level, total personal income tax
collections grew by 3.7% relative to a forecast that called for 2.1% growth. Personal income tax
collections have continued to come in higher than forecast during the current quarter. Appendix B
presents a comparison of actual and projected personal income tax revenues for the fourth quarter of
2012.
Personal income tax collections are expected to remain weak until the April 2013 filing season
when the gains seen in stock markets this year are realized for tax purposes. Further taxable capital
gains realizations will be generated by taxpayers attempting to move their assets ahead of potential
federal tax increases in 2013. Very few collections related to filers who receive extensions are
expected this year, with payments expected to fall and refunds to rise.

57

Corporate Excise Tax
Corporate excise tax collections equaled $172 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012,
$12.4 million above the June forecast. Compared to one year ago, net corporate receipts were down
1.6% with the forecast calling for an 8.7% decline.
Corporate tax collections are expected to continue to decline throughout fiscal year 2013, as they
remain very large from an historical perspective. Very strong growth is expected during the 2013-15
biennium, since corporate tax collections are prone to boom-bust cycles. However, growth rates,
while large, will remain less than half of what has been seen during recent profit booms.
Other Sources of Revenue
All other General Fund revenues are expected to total $1,122 million for the 2011-13 biennium, an
increase of $23 million (2.1%). Most revenue sources are tracking ahead of the June forecast,
including large contributions from estate taxes, judicial-related revenues and liquor apportionment.
Only revenues from the sale of tobacco products and video lottery sales are tracking significantly
below forecast. 10

Lottery transfers into the General Fund are not included in the total. See section E for a discussion of the lottery
forecast.

General Fund revenues will total $15,455 million in 2013-15, an increase of 11.0% percent from the
prior period, and $223 million (-1.4%) below the March forecast. In 2015-17, revenue growth is
expected to remain stable at 11.2%, followed by slower rates of 9% to 10% in subsequent biennia.
The slowdown in long-run revenue growth is largely due to the impact of demographic changes.
Table B.2 in Appendix presents a more detailed look at the long-term General Fund revenue
forecast.
C.

Tax Law Assumptions

The revenue forecast is based on existing law, including actions signed into law during the 2011 and
2012 Oregon Legislative Sessions. OEA makes routine adjustments to the forecast to account for
legislative and other actions not factored into the personal and corporate income tax models. These
adjustments can include expected kicker refunds, when applicable, as well as any tax law changes
not yet present in the historical data. A summary of actions taken during the 2011 Legislative
Session can be found in Appendix B Table B.3. For a detailed treatment of the components of the
February 2012 Rebalance Plan, see: 2012 Budget Highlights, Legislative Fiscal Office.
The treatment of the corporate taxes represents an important current area of policy uncertainty.
Policymakers and the court system are currently determining whether or not Oregon tax credits can
be used to offset liability from the corporate minimum tax, and also whether firms can be asked to
pay excise taxes based on a single sales apportionment factor. There is also a citizens’ initiative on
the ballot that would redirect future corporate kicker payments.

59

Other recent tax law changes involve the treatment of court fees and criminal fines. These changes
have significantly increased the amount of judicial related funds flowing into the General Fund, but
the exact magnitude of the impact remains unclear.
Although based on current law, many of the tax policies that impact the revenue forecast are not set
in stone. In particular, sunset dates for many large tax credits have been scheduled. As credits are
allowed to disappear, considerable support is lent to the revenue outlook in the outer years of the
forecast. To the extent that tax credits are extended and not allowed to expire when their sunset
dates arrive, the outlook for revenue growth will be reduced. The current forecast relies on August
2012 estimates from the Legislative Revenue Office of the size of future tax credits.
D.

Forecast Risks

The latest revenue forecast for the current biennium represents the most probable outcome given
available information. OEA feels that it is important that anyone using this forecast for decisionmaking purposes recognize the potential for actual revenues to depart significantly from this
projection.
Currently, the overwhelming risk facing the revenue outlook is the threat that the U.S. economy will
slip back into recession in the near term. Such a scenario, however it played out, would result in
drastic revenue losses.
In our recessionary scenario, job cuts and income losses begin across a range of industries this fall.
Over the next year, most of the jobs Oregon gained since the previous trough in 2009 would be lost.
A recession of this magnitude would not be a severe one, with job losses around half the size of
what were seen in 2001-03. The working assumption is that there are few excesses to be wrung out,
with auto sales, construction activity, business inventories and the like all fairly lean. Job losses
would be most concentrated among manufacturing, leisure/hospitality, retailing and government
enterprises.
In the recessionary scenario, it is assumed that a stock market correction will occur before the end
of the year. Should a recession of this nature ensue, FY2011-13 biennial income tax revenues
would be reduced on the order $239 million. In addition to income taxes, which we can formally
model under alternative scenarios, other general fund taxes would also decline, lowering the general
fund by an additional $50 to $100 million in 2011-13. Given the timing of such a recession – the
2011-13 BN is nearly halfway completed – the largest revenue reductions, relative to the baseline,
would be the 2013-15 BN. Personal and Corporate Income Tax revenues would be more than $1.0
billion below baseline.

Lottery Earnings Forecast

Table R.3 presents a summary of lottery earnings and distribution for the 2011-13 biennium.
Projected lottery earnings will total $1,075.9 million, a decrease of $17.0 million from the prior
forecast. Overall lackluster collections stem from slower than expected video lottery sales, which
dominate overall lottery earnings. Although growth has been relatively slow, lottery revenues have
stabilized the gains continued in FY12. Revenue fell sharply in the wake of the recession and
enactment of the smoking ban. Including the beginning balance and other earnings, total available
resources equal $1,078.5 million. After adjusting for programs that receive a strict percentage of
lottery transfers and incorporating changes to distributions made during the 2012 session, the
current forecast for the ending balance is -$11.4 million.
In the current biennium, video lottery sales are forecasted to grow slowly as employment and
income growth is likewise relatively slow. Over the extended forecast horizon, video lottery sales
are expected to grow at rates just under personal income gains for Oregonians. Even with the video
lottery sales increases the past three fiscal years, the gains have not been quite as strong as the
underlying economic conditions. Consumers remain cautious with their disposable income and
while their overall entertainment spending is increasing, the share of their budgets spent on these
activities has not increased. This has not been the case in past years with gains in video lottery
having outstripped spending on other items throughout the Lottery’s history. Eventually as video
games lose some of their novelty, sales growth will slow to more sustainable levels.

61

Another major item affecting Lottery transfers for state revenue purposes is the capital replacement
plan that Lottery will implement over the FY2014-2017 time frame. During the next two biennia,
Lottery will replace the 12,000 existing video lottery terminals throughout the state, some of which
will be nine years old when they are replaced. Due to advancements in technology, like a lot of
industries, the current

Overview of Budgetary Reserves

The state currently administers two general reserve accounts, the Oregon Rainy Day Fund (ORDF)
and the Education Stability Fund (ESF). This section updates balances and recalculates the outlook
for these funds based on the December revenue forecast.
Established by the 2007 Legislature, the ORDF is funded from ending balances each biennium, up
to one percent of appropriations. The Legislature can deposit additional funds, as it did in first
populating the ORDF with surplus corporate income tax revenues from the 2005-07 biennium. The
ORDF also retains interest earnings. Withdrawals from the ORDF require one of three triggers,
including a decline in employment, a projected budgetary shortfall, or declaration of a state of
emergency, plus a three-fifths vote. Withdrawals are capped at two-thirds of the balance as of the
beginning of the biennium in question. Fund balances are capped at 7.5 percent of General Fund
revenues in the prior biennium.

62

The ESF gained its current reserve structure and mechanics via constitutional amendment in 2002.
The ESF receives 18 percent of lottery earnings 11, deposited on a quarterly basis. The ESF does not
retain interest earnings. The ESF has similar triggers as the ORDF (in fact, the ORDF was modeled
on the ESF), but does not have the two-thirds cap on withdrawals. The ESF balance is capped at
five percent of General Fund revenues collected in the prior biennium.
Budgetary Reserve Outlook
Table R.4 presents projected balances for the ORDF and ESF. In 2009-11, $115.7 million from the
ORDF and $84.3 million from the ESF were transferred to the State School Fund. The ORDF ended
2009-11 with a balance of $10.4 million, while the ESF ended the biennium with a balance of $5.1
million. The General Fund ending balance for 2009-11, $35.2 million, was deposited into the ORDF
at the beginning of the 2011-13 BN. As the financials and accounting reports for the 2009-11 BN
are finalized, agency revisions along with TANS savings resulted in additional $15.6 million being
deposited into the ORDF, bringing the total deposits into the Rainy Day Fund to $50.8 million for
the 2011-13 BN.
Table R.4

In 2011-13, the ESF is expected to see
deposits of $185.0 million based on
Lottery
sales,
while
scheduled
distributions this biennium total $182.9

both the ORDF and ESF total $69.6

State GF

The Health Plan receives 41.54% of the revenue from the other tobacco tax collections. The TURA receives 4.62 % of collections. The remainder goes to the General Fund.

4. Measure 44 increased the other tobacco taxes from 35% to 65% of the wholesale price, effective February 1, 1997. House Bill 3433, enacted by the 2001 Legislature, limits this tax to 50 cents per cigar.

3. Cities, Counties and Public Transit each receive revenue from a 2 cent per pack tax. The total amount shown equals the total 6 cents per pack dedicated to these entities.

2. Measure 44 created the TURA and funded it with a 3 cents per pack tax effective February 1, 1997.

Voters approved 60 cents per pack tax increase dedicated to the Health Plan, effective November 1, 2002.

1. The 1997 Legislature specified that the temporary 10 cent tax be counted as other funds starting July 1, 1997. As a result the Health Plan received 37 cents per pack as of July 1, 1997. The 10 cent tax has expired on January 1, 2004.

OREGON'S POPULATION FORECASTS BY AGE AND SEX
Procedure and Assumptions
Population forecasts by age and sex are developed using the cohort-component projection
procedure. The population by single year of age and sex is projected based on the specific
assumptions of vital events and migrations. Oregon’s estimated population of July 1, 2010 based on
the most recent decennial census is the base for the forecast. To explain the cohort-component
projection procedure very briefly, the forecasting model "survives" the initial population
distribution by age and sex to the next age-sex category in the following year, and then applies agesex-specific birth and migration rates to the mid-period population. Further iterations subject the inand-out migrants to the same mortality and fertility rates.
Populations by age-sex detail for the years 2000 through 2009, called intercensal estimates, in the
following tables are developed by OEA based on 2000 and 2010 censuses and intercensal totals
from the Population Research Center, Portland State University. The numbers of births and deaths
through 2009-10 are from Oregon's Center for Health Statistics. The total populations for the
period 2012 to 2020 are generated as part of the economic and revenue forecast of OEA.
Annual numbers of births are determined based on the age-specific fertility rates projected based on
Oregon's past trends and past and projected national trends. Oregon's total fertility rate is assumed
to remain below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman during the forecast period,
tracking at slightly lower than the national rate.
Life Table survival rates are developed for the year 2008. Male and female life expectancies for the
2010-2020 period are projected based on the past three decades of trends and national projected life
expectancies. Gradual improvements in life expectancies are expected over the forecast period. At
the same time, the difference between the male and female life expectancies will continue to shrink.
The male life expectancy at births of 77.1 and the female life expectancy of 81.7 in 2010 are
projected to improve to 78.2 years for males and 82.7 years for females by the year 2020.
Estimates and forecasts of the number of net migrations are based on the residuals from the
difference between population change and natural increase (births minus deaths) in a given forecast
period. The migration forecasting model uses Oregon’s employment, unemployment rates and
income/wage data from Oregon and other states. Distribution of migrants by age and sex is based on
detailed data from the American Community Survey. The annual net migration between 2010 and
2020 is expected to remain in the range of 7,250 to 37,000, averaging 27,500 persons annually.
Slowdown in Oregon’s economy in the recent years resulted in smaller net migration and slow
population growth. Estimated population growth and net migration rates in 2011 are the lowest in
over two decades. This slow population growth, as a result of slow economy and high
unemployment rate, is expected to continue in the near future. Migration is intrinsically related to
economy and employment situation of the state. Still, current high unemployment and job loss have
impacted net migration and population growth, but not to the extent in the early 1980s. Main reason
for this is the fact that other states of potential destination for Oregon out-migrants are not faring
any better either. Hence the potential out-migrants have very limited destination choices.
