Oregon robotics company says the industry needs a reality check: ‘I really want to pop that bubble’ - The Daily Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The internet is full of videos of robots running races, doing backflips, dancing and playing soccer. Doing real work, though? Jonathan Hurst says that’s harder than it looks. He’s co-founder of Agility Robotics, the Salem company that makes Digit — the rare humanoid robot with an actual job. Standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall, Digit works in warehouses and factories, lifting and stacking heavy boxes. That kind of activity doesn’t make for a great social media video, but Hurst said it’s useful work t
How did Oregon become one of the most expensive places to live? - The Daily Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oregon used to be something of a bargain. The state was a rare find on the West Coast, a place where homes were cheap by national standards, household products like groceries were relatively inexpensive and utility rates were the envy of many other parts of the country.

Read excerpt
Oregonians do every kind of job for every type of business, from making craft beer at the smallest microbreweries to manufacturing semiconductors for multinational corporations. It turns out that most Oregonians in the private sector work for businesses at one end of the spectrum or the other. Their employers are either really small or very, very large. Nearly 40% of the state’s private sector workers are at firms with fewer than 50 employees, according to a new report from the Oregon Employment
Oregon’s outdoor industry is a smaller part of the economy than in other western states - The Daily Chronicle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oregon’s mountains, lakes, rivers, beaches and trails are major draws for the state’s residents and for travelers from all over the world. They’re also a big part of Oregon’s economy, generating several billion dollars in activity each year. Outdoor activities represent 2.7% of the state’s gross domestic product, a measure of economic productivity, according to federal data. That’s roughly the same share outdoor activities contribute to the national economy. Oregon’s top activities, in dollar te
