Quick Look: ALL Oregon Metro's Have Declined in Real Personal Per Capita Income from 2008-2012.

There was a new national release of state and metro level data on Thursday by BEA; PR and data can be retrieved HERE.

Will look for more in depth analysis of the same data from others in the coming days, especially from those with more experience dealing with income/economic data sets.
