Overview
"From timber country to Silicon Forest, the face of Oregon's labor force has changed dramatically over the last 150 years. Today the seeds planted by pioneers continue to bear fruit, producing jobs and wages to keep Oregon families growing and prospering. Tom Fuller and Art Ayre capture unique stories of Oregon's working men and women in Oregon at Work: 1859-2009." Fuller and Ayre paint a rich picture of Oregon's ever-changing workforce. Drawing from their meticulous research, the authors provide personal histories, historical data, and over 100 photographs. Oregon at Work begins with a wide-angle view of three 50-year periods in Oregon history, and then narrows the focus on specific industries and individual stories. Discussions include the roles of Native American tribes and minority workers in the shaping of Oregon's economy, as well as labor in our present time.Synopsis
