Answer 1 :
In general, a minor must be at least 14 years old to work in non-agricultural employment in Oregon. There are special regulations that apply to the employment of minors in agriculture. In rare circumstances, the Oregon Wage and Hour Commission may allow younger individuals to work. Minors under 14 years of age may not be employed in any enterprise subject to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, in any establishment where alcoholic beverages are dispensed or served, in any theater or amusement park, in any work that involves the minor in canvassing door to door, or in any establishment catering to adults only. Parents may employ their children under 16 years of age in occupations other than manufacturing or mining, or occupations declared hazardous by the US Department of Labor. For more information, please contact the Bureau of Labor and Industries. Minors Under 14 are required to obtain an individual work permit.

Answer 1 :
There used to be a HUGE high tech job market here, but much of that and other production/manufacturing got outsourced to asia/india when Bush took office.
Answer 2 :
DUDE if you can find a job here then your not looking for work But I would go to central oregon fun town Bend oregon and a lot of need for your skills
Answer 3 :
Job market was terrible for a few years after 9/11, but it's better here now. Best industries here are apparel (Nike/Adidas/Columbia), Technology (Intel), Housing/construction, health care, and professional services. There is a decent manufacturing base here too but China is crushing the US in this field everywhere, Portland included. Forestry and agriculture were #1 here until the 80's. For your field I would follow the construction. That means Portland suburbs, Bend, and Medford/Ashland. Good luck!
Answer 4 :
Plenty of your kinda work here. My cousin does the same work, but I don't know where just yet. Places are too picky for qualifications than I have. GED, Forklift esp, drivers lic., valid drivers license w/car. I don't have these things, and I don't plan to. I don't need them.

About i am looking for major resorts in Portland Oregon for work

I am looking for major resorts in Portland Oregon for work?
I am trying to find some major resorts in the Portland, Mt Hood areas. I want to move to oregon and work there. I am a student at Scottsdale Culinary Institute and want to extern somewhere in Oregon. Any help possible would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1 :
There are none. Timberline isn't like a major resort. Mt. Hood has small resorts. Mainly everyone rents houses and cabins up there. Even time shares. That area isn't made for the fluffs who need the catering.
Answer 2 :
Major resorts would be more towards the Bend area. Black Butte is one. Bandon is also a pretty major resort, but it's a golf resort, not a spa resort. Skamania is fairly large, Bonneville is too, and there are tons up & down the coast, but none are what I'd consider to be on calibur with Ventana Canyon or the Fairmont Scottsdale.
Answer 3 :
There are no megaresorts in Oregon—and that's the way we want it. As for culinary externships, you should be aware that Oregon has three culinary schools—Le Cordon Bleu, Oregon Culinary Institute, and The Art Institutes—with hundreds of students trying to do the same thing every term. However, there is no shortage of opportunity as Portland has the highest number of restaurants per capita in the U.S., or maybe the world, according to an in-flight magazine I read years ago. Here are MobilTravel's top-rated restaurants: http://mobiltravelguide.howstuffworks.com/portland-or-restaurants-list.htm?sortc=rating&sortd=desc&minRating=0 And here are Frommer's top rated: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/oregon/2529020003.html

About if you work in Portland, OR, but commute from Vancouver, WA (15 min), do you benefit from WA's zero state tax

If you work in Portland, OR, but commute from Vancouver, WA (15 min), do you benefit from WA's zero state tax?

United States - 8 Answers
People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
No. You have to file a non-resident OR tax filing.
Answer 2 :
you have to file the OR non-resident return, Form 40N
Answer 3 :
You would benefit from no state income tax in WA only if you worked in WA. Since you work in OR, you will file a nonresident OR tax return and pay income tax to OR. If you also paid income tax to WA, you would receive a credit from WA for tax you paid to OR. On the other hand, a person living in Portland, OR who worked in Vancouver, WA would file a resident OR tax return and pay tax to OR but not to WA.
Answer 4 :
WA and OR have a reciprocity agreement in place that generally insulates WA residents working in OR from paying the OR state income tax. Conversely, OR residents shopping in WA do not pay the WA sales tax.
Answer 5 :
Bostonian is usually right, but not in this case. Except for very limited situations, if you work in OR you owe OR state income tax regardless of where you live. There is no special exception for WA residents working in OR.
Answer 6 :
according to IRS your tax home is where you work unless this job is short, temporary, less than a year's duration if this is a permanent job, you file Ore state tax
Answer 7 :
need to file an OR income tax return as non-resident
Answer 8 :
WA and OR do not have a reciprocity agreement and you will be required to file a state tax return in Oregon. Your employer should have taken withholding out but it would be common for them not to.

About which is the best hospital system to work for in Portland

Which is the best hospital system to work for in Portland?
I am an MRI tech in Atl. Ga and am moving to Portland in the next couple of months. Portland, Oregon

Answer 1 :
Which Portland ,there is more than one.?
Answer 2 :
If you mean Portland, ME - the best hospital would at one of the Maine Medical Center branches. They have many: their main campus (Bramhall), Scarborough, Brighton, Spring Harbor, St. Andrew's Healthcare, Western Maine Health, or Miles Health Care. Being one of the largest employers of the state, they have great opportunities available and encourage career advancement for their employees. They also have great benefits (health, dental, vision, life, retirement-403b, and discounts to local businesses). If you want more information check out their website http://www.mmc.org
Answer 3 :
most all the hospitals are good in Portland, OHSU is a good hospital and emanual legacy are good hospitals which are good sam and emanual is in North Portland and then there is Providence which are St Vincents and Providence. The only one I don't think good is tuality hospital. Good luck
Answer 4 :
Probably OHSU, Oregon Health Science Universtiy. It is an extensive system located on the hills in south west Portland.
Answer 5 :
I work at Providence St. Vincent, and would have to say that they are the best to work for, or any of the Providence hospitals here. They have great benefits and retirement plans. Ive always hear patients come through and say that the other hospitals in the area are so impersonal and don't take the time that they could to help them and there glad they found Providence. They have been voted one of the top places to work in Oregon. The pay is exceptional as well.
