3 County PDX 2010-2020: Of 37,000+ Annual Job Openings, 60% Will be In Jobs with Average Pay Less than 60% MFI.

I have created a new Excel SkyDrive workbook HERE (and embedded below) that includes counts of 2010 jobs and average wages and projected 2010-2020 job openings and average wages for 791,000 jobs (and 600+ occupations) in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties.  

In addition to including both individual worksheets previously posted for Clackamas and the combined Multnomah and Washington county workforce areas, I also included a simple summary sheet that is the default view when the file is opened. That summary shows:

  1. 57% of 791,000+ 2010 jobs had average wages at or below 60% of 2010 HUD Median Family Income. (HUD 2010 Median Family Income was $71,200, so the 60% MFI threshold was $42,720 or $20.54 per hour)
  2. 60% of 37,000+ annual job openings from 2010-2020 are for jobs with 2010 average wages at or below 60% of 2010 HUD Median Family Income.
