Kiplinger has named 11 Comeback Cities for 2011 and Portland was one of them. We all know how amazing this city is but high unemployment throughout the great recession has certainly damped the mood in the last few years.
Well, according to financial and business forecasters, Portland will see a significant comeback this year with possible 3.4% job growth in 2011. Clean technology and software development are leading the charge. That is a welcome relief from the minimum wage retail jobs that seemed to be the only positions available lately and do not pay anywhere near a livable wage.
Portland seems perfectly poised to turn this forecast into reality and I for one can’t wait see this comeback in action!
