> Multnomah County, OR is a bunch of solid black lines from throughout the country. Everyone wants to be in Portland, but the Oregon unemployment numbers are comparable to Michigan, IIRC.

Both of our recent hires moved here first, and found a job afterwards. Portland is seen as hip and comparatively inexpensive, so if you're going to be unemployed, might as well do it here.

Portland doesn't seems about the same cost-of-living-wise to Toronto, ON. So I don't really see it as 'cheap.' (Maybe compared to NYC...)


What company? Contemplating making the same move myself early next year ;)
