MULTNOMAH COUNTY, OR (KPTV) - Thousands of Oregonians are struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, but what does that mean for the overall economy? Economists say this isn t a typical recession, since some sectors of the economy doing well, while others are enduring the brunt.
Nine months into the pandemic and Oregonians are still struggling. You just worry, it s a constant, said Tod Muir. You can t sleep.
Muir went from working full-time as a delivery driver for a food distributor before COVID-19, down to working 10-15 hours a week. You watch every single dollar, Muir said. You watch the news hoping Congress gets their act together.
