All Oregonians deserve economic security, but for many it remains an elusive dream. This is particularly true for marginalized groups who face steep income inequalities and an economy that does not serve low-paid people. Data for the People compiles and provides the latest publicly available data on the economic well-being of Oregonians, and offers breakdowns in the dataset by race, ethnicity, language, and disability categories developed by the state's health authority. It also details policy recommendations for transforming the state's economy into one that is equitable and prosperous for all, not just a wealthy few.
