Zusammenfassung
Continued federal and state policies aimed at reducing the livelihood of undocumented
workers may force these populations to move to other locations. With the loss of undocumented
workers and their families, Oregon can expect to see losses in population, employment,
industrial production and state and local revenue. As undocumented populations are unevenly
distributed across the state similarly to Hispanic populations, this study expects six counties,
Hood River, jefferson, Malheur, Marion, Morrow and Umatilla, will see more than an eightpercent
population loss, double the expected state loss rate, and proportionally greater economic
losses. By estimating the undocumented population in each of Oregon's 36 counties, this study
further details potential economic losses in the six Oregon counties with concentrated Hispanic,
and consequently, undocumented populations.
