Jobs in Portland, OR

Portland punches above its weight in several industries that wouldn't be obvious from the outside. The athletic and outdoor industry is centered here - Nike, Adidas North America, Columbia Sportswear, and Under Armour's innovation studio all have offices in the metro area. The tech sector is surprisingly strong, particularly in the "Silicon Forest" area near Hillsboro where Intel's largest manufacturing campus operates. Healthcare keeps growing as the population ages, with OHSU and Providence anchoring the medical employment scene. Portland also has a notable craft manufacturing sector - everything from food and beverage to sustainable products. The city has dealt with some economic challenges in recent years, but the underlying job market fundamentals are solid. No sales tax, though the state income tax is among the highest in the country.
