A look at the Portland marketplace from 180one
WHAT DID 180one SEE IN 2015?
Our clients were bullish in 2015, and confidence in the marketplace led them to make big investments in Sales & Marketing roles.

BUT PORTLAND ISN’T JUST ABOUT THE TECH BOOM.
While the Rose City again ranked among the most attractive markets for Technology companies, Manufacturing
is still the backbone of Oregon’s economy.
BIG INVESTMENTS KEEP ROLLING IN.
2015 saw large sales of well-known Oregon-based companies, but that doesn’t mean Portland is losing out on business. The Technology industry
continues to flourish, with more companies flocking to the Silicon Forest each month.
