I'm looking for any and all help I can get because I'm contemplating moving to OR in January.

I'm an experienced drywall finisher so I will also be looking for a job!
If I cannot find a job with drywall I'm looking for any kind of apprenticing/entry level job that will pay around $15/hour.

Any and all informative help would be greatly appreciated by myself!

Salem is decent for a smaller town. I lived there for a few years. My uncle has a drywalling business there actually... I'll shoot him an e-mail and let you know.

Portland would be a better place to be because it's just like Seattle 10yrs. ago and is going to continue to get huge. (new construction etc.) Take a look at places like Bend, OR where all the California money is going...Klamath Falls etc. It's getting crazy and will continue to do so as people bail out of California for various reasons.

Salem Re%

In the valley, West Linn, Bethany, and Lake Oswego are growing the fastest, but that will prolly taper off soon. Salem should have steady growth for a while.

I'd stay away from Salem, the meth problem there is so huge that its in the news daily. If you have a family, stay away. Check out Portland and other bigger towns, they are much nicer.

Sorry to get your hopes up...he isn't looking to hire anyone right now as a lot of his work has turned into restoration work etc.

Good luck with the move...we may catch up at a meet if I come down to mess with the Portland crew in the spring. :buttrock

:confused, Born and raised Salem, Oregon. GREAT place to live! Very beautiful.

Sorry, no help on the job, but don't listen to these guys, Salem is a very nice city.

Good luck

Good luckHave you looked at the newspapers yet? Lots on the meth problems there. I'd seriously look elsewhere in Oregon. Oregon is my home and I love the place, I highly recommend it to the OP, but not Salem.
