The state has extraordinary strengths, including world-class natural resources, innovative small- and medium-sized businesses, founder-led enterprises, family farms, hospitality businesses, entrepreneurial talent, and globally competitive industries that create local jobs, drive tourism, and shape the cultural identity of communities across the state, but its economic future is increasingly uncertain. Over the past decade, rising costs, slowing population growth, declining competitiveness, and fragmented policymaking have made it harder for small and medium-sized businesses to invest, communities to thrive, and Oregonians to access opportunity. Addressing these challenges will require more than incremental policy changes; it will require confronting structural barriers that limit growth, innovation, and government effectiveness. Too often, Oregonians are paying more while feeling they receive less in return. Without meaningful change, Oregon risks falling into a cycle of economic stagnation, declining public confidence, eroding services, and fewer pathways to upward mobility. - [AI Won’t Take Your Job.
