Husband. Father. Economist. I run to eat terrible food and drink good beer. Chiefs. Timbers. Sooners.
And combine with this, and it’s not great bob. Neither of these are Oregon-caused problems, but any regional economy would suffer if two major pillars falter.

Plus lots of good navel gazing for those who know Bend, and Oregon and the people working on and advocating for housing policy.

Nice! Can’t wait to read it, only had summaries of North before. Read a lot of Veblen and Galbraith in school…

I’m excited about it for sure!

Not yet. Changes Census made were to include “humanitarian” migrants. I swear I saw chart of the breakdown but can’t find in now. They then allocated national humanitarian migrants to the states. They are working on refining that methodology. But recent migrants are a lot Central/S Amer, & Ukraine

Galaxy are low key not good. Seattle always sucks. But the worst thing I saw today was Merry Gentlemen. 2/10 at best. Premise is good! But considering its strippers and One Tree Hill boy, hard to find a less sexy movie. Zero backstory. Zero chemistry. Just all around bad. Next.

Ha! Of course!

Is this IRS data? Assume so given it says AGI. 2021 was cap gains boom year so inequality worsened, making it look regressive even as public policy (ui replacement rate, rebates) should be progressive. Unsure if that’s the entire story or not. Can you do components of income by zip code?

Higher res chart. Looks like the new, revised data takes 25,000 size of potential labor force (assuming same age structure, don’t have those details yet). It’s not catastrophic, but OR is on a slower, smaller trajectory than previously thought
