It is published monthly by the University of Oregon's School of Business Administration Bureau of Business Research. The high employment record was attained even though the lumber and wood products industry was using about 3,000 fewer workers than in 1960, the latest year which the industry considers reasonably "normal," the Review reported. Employment in September reached 726,100, which was 21,400 more than the previous September. Major activities accounting for the increase were agriculture, construction, and education. Since August unemployment declined by 4,200 workers, to leave 25,000 Oregonians still seeking jobs.

The state's September rate of unemployment fell to 5.3 per cent, compared to a national rate remaining at 5.8 per cent. The Review revealed business activity in Oregon remained high during September despite the continued serious problems of the lumber and the woods products industry, the largest manufacturing industry in the state. Business failures in Oregon have been decreasing in number as 1962 progresses. There were 142 failures during the first three months of the year, but only 6.9 during June, July, and August. During the same summer months a year ago, the number of failures was 135.
