When Down is Up!

News has it that Oregon ranks 34th among the states that are good for small businesses. This, according to the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council.

However, news also has it that Salem's Real Estate values are the 4th hottest in the states and that due to a . . . Strong Job market.

With much of Salem's industry already having left and small businesses dropping like flies in January, can we assume that Salem's growth is in Government employment?

I thought so.
