Another important challenge facing Oregon business is the inability to recruit and hire the best employees. These challenges are in part because public universities are underfunded and struggle to bring and keep the best students; they are in part because potential employees want great schools for their children.

Oregon has some of the lowest business taxes in the nation - clearly that alone is not enough to attract a dynamic, vibrant business community.
