Thousands in Oregon eligible for Trade Act Assistance 
Since 2008, nearly 18,000 jobs in Oregon have been lost due to foreign trade - in other words, the job once done by a worker in Oregon is now being done overseas. Every person from a qualified company who loses a job due to foreign trade is eligible for federal assistance to retrain for a new job under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). Figures from the State of Oregon show that only 25 percent of those people eligible for retraining assistance actually use the benefits to gain new skills. A statewide federal grant administered by Clackamas Community College aims to find these displaced workers and connect them with services to gain the skills to find a family-wage job. The grant also provides assistance to unemployed or underemployed people and those seeking a career-technical degree. Full article
