Oregon Early Learning Workforce: Ten Years Beyond Baseline, Comparison of 2012 and 2022
Abstract
This report, the tenth annual, describes Oregon’s early learning workforce in 2022. 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 2022 workforce and compares them with those of the 2012 workforce. With access to eleven years of data, this study provides a look at turnover and stability of the workforce. Annual reports enable the State to measure workforce turnover and provide decision makers with information critical for designing the training system.
