The article interviews many people that have been out of work for over a year. The article also interviewed potential employees that have sent out over 40 applications to Corvallis, Albany, and Lebanon.
I found this article to be uplifting but also a little premature. I don't think that one business opening will have that large of an effect on unemployment. The way I see it a grocery store isn't going to hire a whole lot of employees.
Interesting. I didn't know Corvallis's unemployment rate is 7%. Oregon is still at 11%.
