Oregon Success Stories

Solar manufacturing

The strength of the semiconductor industry in Washington County, which now employs more than 17,500 workers, has led to Oregon's position as a leader in clean manufacturing helping to attract such companies as SolarWorld to the state and to its designation as the nation's 'greenest state' by Business Facilities Magazine.

Oregon's Tax Structure

A 2008 report by Ernst and Young on state business taxes pronounced Oregon's position as one of the lowest business tax rate structures in the United States.
