The Oregon Employment Department's (OED's) estimates of agricultural employment are nowhere near as precise as our nonfarm job tallies. Nonfarm employment statistics are ultimately based on a near-exact count of workers from employers' unemployment insurance (UI) tax records. Those same UI tax records represent just a fraction of Oregon's agriculture industry, since only this state's larger farms and ranches are subject to UI law. Therefore, much more guesswork goes into compiling OED's farm employment estimates, particularly when attempting to capture job counts for smaller operators.
