Oregon and Washington Hiring Report 2023

Does the job market feel different to you compared to four years ago? 

You’re not alone.

Unemployment rates in Oregon, Washington, and across the United States remain at historic lows. And the current labor shortage shows no sign of slowing soon. 

But it’s not only the unemployment rate that has changed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. 

For many professionals, how you work, where you do so, and what you can expect when you look for a job has shifted fundamentally. 

Employers have embraced hybrid and remote work, and job seekers continue to hold an advantage in the current labor market. 

And more change is coming. Transparency in job postings and employee satisfaction will be key factors in shaping the future of work in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere. 

A new annual survey from Mac’s List outlined in the Oregon and Washington Hiring Report 2023 confirms these transformations in both the workplace and the job search. From June 26 to July 26, we surveyed 115 employers in Oregon and Washington across various industries. Here’s what they had to say.
