dc.description.abstractGeographical mobility data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey shows that interstate migration increases the number of highly educated workers in Oregon. Throughout 2011-2018, there were more people entering the state than leaving and those entering the state had on average a higher level of education than those leaving. Within each educational level of Oregon’s population, geographical mobility did not change significantly over this period. These geographical mobility trends may help the government of Oregon meet its current goals of improving the overall education level of the state and meeting projected job openings with the introduction of highly educated workers into the labor market. However, this may or may not impact more complex and longer-lasting concerns of the education system, like social mobility and inequality. This paper also reflects on the formulation and planned implementation of Oregon’s educational goals, suggesting that to meet the underlying concerns of the education system would require more drastic steps than those which the state government is making.en_US
