Oregon County Unemployment Insurance Through August: $4.2 Billion Paid But Weekly Avg Dropped 45%/$397 from July to August.

 The two page PDF file HERE and embedded below includes county level data, including

• A graph showing the average weekly benefit for July and August
• A table showing unemployment insurance benefits paid by month through August

Some observations:

1. The $4.2 billion likely does not include PUA. OED has previously indicated that $143 million in PUA was paid through August 29th.
2. Multnomah county residents received 27% of the state total. That's $175 million in August and $1.1+ billion through August. 
3. The average weekly benefit dropped by 45%/397 from July to August, from $897 to $482 (primarily because of loss of $600 supplement).
