Central Oregon is a region of abundance. It's evident in almost every aspect of the way we live. Scenic beauty and recreational getaways are right out the back door. Natural resources have helped to build vibrant communities that attract people who share an enthusiasm and zest for living. And we have one of the most robust economies in the West.

This is the kind of place where people bring their lives into focus. The payoff for working hard is more time to play hard. More time for families to enjoy community activities. More time to achieve personal and professional goals.

Newcomers are often surprised by the diverse range of skills and expertise in the local workforce. Employers find dedicated employees attracted by the Central Oregon lifestyle, who are determined to make their mark in the community. A growing high technology sector, a thriving professional services economy, and retailing and manufacturing of all types complement the historic recreation and wood products-based industries.

Public and private organizations often join forces to provide educational opportunities and job training programs for specific businesses. A local council of governments provides free recruiting and skills assessment services to local businesses. Moderate wages and low unionization rates contribute to a favorable climate for employers.
