45. 45 Bottom Line for the Oregon Economy The “technical” recession in Oregon ended late this summer or late this year. Expect a “jobless” recovery. Job losses will continue into the first quarter of 2010, with only mild job growth the rest of the year. Housing prices may still decline into 2010 but looking more like a bottom has been reached in housing permits. Housing will not lead during the recovery. First sectors likely to come back: profession and business services, health care services, computer and electronic products, retail.
