Supporting business and promoting employment in Oregon State edit
WorkingInOregon.org is the Oregon Employment Department's online resource for job seekers, unemployed workers and businesses. The interactive website provides a host of services that fulfill the department's vision of supporting business and promoting employment in Oregon:
- Employment and job posting boards
- Online unemployment benefit claims system
- Childcare resources
- Economic and job market information
WorkingInOregon.org and WorkSourceOregon.org: A family of services edit
The URL WorkingInOregon.org automatically directs web searchers to the official website for the State of Oregon Employment Department. For a broader range of services, including workforce assessment and training programs offered by private and public partners, see WorkSourceOregon.org.
Serving workers, employers, childcare seekers and providers edit
With unemployment in Oregon currently at record levels -- about 12 percent -- most visitors to WorkingInOregon.org are looking for unemployment benefits, information on filing an unemployment claim or access to iMatchSkills.org.
IMatch is the Employment Department's award-winning interactive recruitment tool that pairs job seekers with prospective employers.
WorkingInOregon.org is also an important resource for Oregon business owners, who use the website to research economic and workforce trends, post jobs, find qualified workers and learn about employer incentive programs such as the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.
The website also provides childcare information and support for workers and providers. Childcare is an important factor in fulfilling the department's mission of developing and maintaining a diverse, multi-skilled workforce.
Unemployment benefit claims online edit
WorkingInOregon.org receives more than 1.2 million visits per month. While the majority of visitors used to be job seekers, today most visitors are using the online unemployment benefit claims system. The Oregon Employment Department currently pays out $200 million per month in unemployment benefits.
The department has handled the surge in benefit claimants by adding to its staff of 1,500 employees. For the annual winter increase in claimants, the department anticipates adding 206 new workers. Staff will work on improving the website's interactive services and the telephone filing system.
Benefit claimants can access benefits information and file claims online, or via the department's telephone filing system. The online system is the fastest way to file.
Preparing for the rebound: iMatchSkills and QualityInfo.org edit
While upgrading and maintaining the online unemployment benefit claims system, the Oregon Employment Department's web development team is also improving online services for job seekers and employers.
