Portland is a middle-class city with a balanced economy, but the share of middle-wage jobs is getting smaller.
Middle-wage jobs that don’t require college degrees are concentrated in industrial districts.
Communities of color and East Portlanders rely disproportionately on Columbia Corridor/industrial district jobs.
The Comprehensive Plan Update is an opportunity to better align land use, transportation, and education with middle-wage job growth potential.
