12K+ Oregon taxpayers impacted by Employment Department tax form error
The OED announced that at least 5% of the forms distributed in January for the 2024 tax year need to be updated — impacting at least 12,000 taxpayers in the state.

'We are very sorry for the inconvenience this caused some people,' OED director David Gerstenfeld said. 'The Employment Department is committed to providing people with accurate information as quickly as possible, which is why our employees are working hard to follow up with each impacted person with more specific information about their situation.'
The 1099-G tax form shows how much the OED paid out to those who used unemployment benefits in 2024. However, the use of a new system threw off how these totals are determined.
Before 2024, the OED relied upon a legacy system to pay Oregon's unemployment insurance program. The department then switched to its new system, , in March 2024.

Department officials said the form sent in January did not include both systems.
'This is the first time that 1099-G tax forms were created for the Unemployment Insurance program using Frances Online,' OED said. 'This is the only time that the new system will have to issue 1099-G forms covering payments made from both the new, and the legacy, systems.'
OED fixed the error on Monday and created new forms. Those who need a corrected form were contacted via automated message on Francis Online.
This follows months of complaints from those on unemployment who claim to have experienced since the website's launch.
It also follows Wednesday's announcement that — its highest since 2021 and .4% higher than the national average.

Oregon unemployment numbers continue to climb and hit recent high
Oregon's unemployment rate continued to climb in July and was again higher than the national average, according to an Aug. 13 press release from the Oregon Employment Department. The overall unemployment rate hit 5.0% in July. It was 4.2% in July 2024 and has continued to climb this year from 4.4% in January. The rate is the highest it has been in four years, when the state was first recovering from COVID-19-era furloughs and layoffs. In an Aug. 14 media briefing, Gail Krumenauer, the state employment economist, said the rate was the highest it has been since the beginning of 2016, excluding the pandemic period. "The big picture has many of the similar trends that we've been talking about, but overall Oregon's employment situation is weaker than originally reported," Krumenauer said. "Unemployment continues to rise in Oregon." The national unemployment rate was 4.2% in July. The state lost 2,700 jobs in July, after losing 8,600 in June. Job losses in July were concentrated in financial activities, professional and business services, and health care and social assistance. Among mass cuts in the state was the loss of nearly 2,400 workers at Intel in July. Manufacturing still has the steepest declines, according to Krumenauer, with the loss of 9,400 jobs in the past year, or a 5% drop. Yearly job gains were concentrated in private health care and social assistance. Gains in July were largest in construction and transportation, warehousing and utilities.

Oregon one of the worst states to move to, analysis says
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Anyone thinking about moving to a new state may want to think twice before considering the Pacific Northwest, according to a new analysis. recently ranked Oregon the fourth-worst state to move to in 2025, down from its 2024 ranking as the seventh worst. Washington, on the other hand, is the 35th best state to move to, according to the analysis. 'This year, Washington outperformed Oregon in affordability, economic strength, and health care and educational attainment,' ConsumerAffairs said. 'However, both states continue to face challenges with crime and climate risk.' Oregon scored poorly for its affordability, safety, economy, education and access to healthcare. According to the report, Oregon is the third-worst state for affordability and the ninth-worst for safety. It is also among the most vulnerable to environmental hazards, such as drought and wildfire. 'As affordability, economic strength, and quality of life drive relocation decisions across the U.S., this ranking offers a clear picture of the challenges Oregon faces in retaining and attracting new residents,' ConsumerAffairs said. Overall, the states that ranked worse than Oregon are California, Louisiana, and New Mexico. The best states to move to, according to the report, are Utah, New Hampshire, Idaho and Virginia. Washington D.C. was omitted from the rankings. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Exclusive: Northrop plans to quadruple chip output by 2030
There's a chip factory tucked between Baltimore city limits and BWI Airport. For something so high-profile, it's easy to miss. Why it matters: Northrop Grumman's Advanced Technology Lab in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, is pumping out precious, microscopic components at a time of surging stateside demand, questionable defense-industrial base fitness and broader international aggression. The company's chips can be found in F-16 and E-7 aircraft, Apache helicopters, G/ATOR radars, naval electronic warfare systems, drones, the James Webb telescope and more. Driving the news: Axios toured the lab — sterile "bunny suit" and all — in late July. The intrigue: Northrop is positioning itself as a domestic expert that plays well with others, including other defense contractors. That means greater supply chain visibility for buyers and users as well as cooperation with competitors. "The company sees a lot of value in us being able to supply our microelectronics capabilities to benefit the national interest. That's national security. That's economic security," David Shahin, senior manager of Northrop's microelectronics center, said in an interview. Zoom in: The company is bullish on advanced packaging, a process that consolidates component footprints, ultimately saving space and boosting performance. Think of it like mixed-use versus single-family residential zoning. "The promise of advanced packaging for microelectronics is now you can fabricate the best chips wherever you need to," Shahin said, "and you can join them together into something that puts the whole system ... into something that is a fraction of the size."
