Early in the recovery from the Great Recession, job gains mainly occurred in lower-wage industries (e.g., food services and drinking places and clothing stores) and higher-wage industries such as hospitals and ambulatory health care services. The mid-wage industries -- which include many types of manufacturing, among other things -- lagged behind in terms of adding back jobs.
As of the fourth quarter of 2014, lower-, mid-, and higher-wage industries all regained the jobs lost during the recession. Oregon's total nonfarm employment also returned to its pre-recession peak in the fourth quarter.
