According to the Oregon.gov website, the food services and drinking places industry are being hit hard during this economic downturn.
The food services and drinking places industry shed 3,000 jobs in October and is down 1,900 in the past 12 months. The weakness in consumer spending seems to be hitting full-service restaurants hard, with employment down 1,300 jobs since October 2007.
