Department of Homeland Security Employment in Oregon

Congress is working on passing a Department of Homeland Security funding bill before February 27. Without funding, the Department could begin a partial shutdown. 

Although most Homeland Security employees would continue to work during a partial shutdown, we have been asked about the number and types of Department of Homeland Security jobs in Oregon. In Oregon, almost 1,000 people were employed by the Department of Homeland Security. The bulk of this employment was in Multnomah County for the Transportation Security Administration.
