WorkSource Oregon Deploys Free Layoff Support Services Amid Eastern Oregon Economic Shifts
NewsData.io · United States · Aug 3, 2026
WorkSource Oregon is deploying on-site support teams across eight Eastern Oregon counties to assist employers and workers affected by regional economic disruptions and wildfires. The agency encourages employers to engage before layoffs are finalized, offering options like Work Share — which lets employers temporarily reduce hours while unemployment insurance supplements lost wages. Workers can independently access unemployment benefits guidance, career counseling, resume help, and training resources. The initiative highlights growing demand for workforce transition services in rural labor markets.
