Young professionals are far from the minority in Portland. In fact, while the rest of the country saw an eight percent decline of young adults in the work force, Portland has seen a twelve percent increase! Portland is such an attractive destination for young professionals for many reasons. A huge part of that is due to the city’s strong focus on green energy and technology. Intel and Hewlett-Packard are two of many big companies with headquarters in the Portland area. And as for green energy, The Oregon Wave Energy Trust is devoted to make Oregon number one in the country for clean energy. Over one third of young adults in Portland have college degrees, and more and more young professionals are moving to Portland each day! It certainly isn’t hard to see why!
