This is an exciting time for the biosciences in the State of Oregon. A report commissioned by the Oregon Biosciences Association, shows that despite Oregon's recessionary slump, the brightest news is the previously underestimated economic impact of Oregon's bioscience industry. Released January 22, 2009, the industry's first comprehensive economic analysis shows the sector contributed nearly $3.5 billion in direct revenue, more than 13,630 jobs and $800 million in biotech workers' personal income to the state economy in 2007. This is three times greater than the economic impact of the local wine industry, two times greater the number of jobs of the agriculture and forestry support industry, and a top 25% ranking in industry-based, average wages, in 2007. This report can be found on the OBA website at: http://www.oregonbio.org/.
