Hispanics in Oregon grew 144%. If this trend continues, 33% or one in three Oregonians could be
Latino / Hispanic by 2020.Oregon’s economy relies on nursery, agriculture, manufacturing, forestry, construction, food processing,
restaurants, hospitality, and services. These sectors in turn, rely on workers whose English is limited.
