The first section provides a background to the issues of the state's changing economy by describing global and national economic changes and recent state legislative responses, and giving an analysis of the beneficiaries of change. The report goes on to describe the work of the Oregon Workforce Quality Council and its three-part (public, private, and communication) strategy. Three final sections address each of these areas. The goals of the public sector strategy are: Oregon schools with world class academic standards, smooth transition from school to work, training and placement aimed at high-wage jobs, and employers accessing a full range of business services. The vision for the private sector includes high-skill jobs in all areas of the state, high-performance firms, high level investment, cooperation between labor, business, and education, and expansion of the apprenticeship model in new industries and jobs. The communication vision entails taking a long-range view of expectations, engaging citizens in an effort to change the way business is done, and demonstrating that bottom-up solutions work best. An appendix gives bench mark priorities in tabular form, a list of regional workforce committees, and an annotated list of public sector partners. (Contains 16 references.)

Nearly 100,000 OREGON jobs, many of them in the high wage forest products ECONOMYindustry, were lost. The purchasing power of many Oregon families declined as per capita income fell sharplybelow the national average in 1979. Despite the creation of300,000 new jobs during the late 1980s, the income gap has not closed. The job growth has been greatest in the trade and service sectors where wages and benefits have not kept pacewith the manufacturing sector.
