Abstract

This brief, the eighth annual, describes Oregon’s early learning workforce in 2019. As of 2012, Oregon has had in place a system that allows it to answer policy-relevant questions about the early learning workforce employed in regulated child care and education facilities. This brief captures key characteristics of the 2019 workforce and compares them with those of the 2012 workforce. Annual reports enable the State to measure workforce turnover and provide decision makers with information critical for designing the training system. With access to eight years of data, this study provides a new look at turnover and stability of the workforce.
