Criteria Does the proposal meet the criteria? Yes or No
Comment/explanation
Geographic areas served by local educational agencies and intermediate educational agencies
Yes Douglas, Coos, and Curry counties are served by local school districts that provide education services as required by state and federal requirements. The Douglas County districts are served by Douglas ESD, and South Coast ESD serves Coos and Curry County districts.
Geographic areas served by postsecondary educational institutions and area vocational education schools
Yes Douglas County is served by Umpqua Community College. Coos and Curry Counties are served by Southwestern Oregon Community College with campuses in Coos Bay, Brookings, Gold Beach.
The extent to which such local areas are consistent with labor market areas
Yes All three counties share similar challenges with job creation and retention and workforce development. All have predominately aging demographics with a deficit number of individuals ready to move into the workforce within the next 10 years.
The distance that individuals will need to travel to receive services provided in such local areas
Yes Workforce training and services are currently provided in Reedsport and Roseburg which are located in Douglas County, Coos Bay located in Coos County, and Brookings located in Curry County
The resources of such local areas that are available to effectively administer the activities carried out under subtitle IB of the Workforce Investment Act
Yes The estimated WIA IB allocation for Curry, Coos, and Douglas counties is $1,558,390. The workforce investment board (WIB) is allowed to hold 10% of the allocation for administrative functions which would be $155,839 in this area. Staff believe that WIBs need at least $500,000 in administrative funds to perform the functions required by both the funding stream requirements and chartering criteria adopted by the OWIB in May. There is a commitment to assure all boards are provided additional resources to be wholly able to function in the new capacity.
Better meet the criteria established by the state board
See the next two rows
- Increase alignment with economic development districts and regional solutions areas
Yes The proposed area coincides with the Coos Curry Douglas Economic Development District and the Coos, Curry, Douglas Regional Solutions Area.
- Create contiguous local workforce investment areas to the extent possible
Yes Curry and Coos are contiguous, and Coos and Douglas are contiguous.
Be more effective or efficient
Yes The intent is that by limiting the number of counties – and ensuring that they share economic conditions, trends, and outlooks – effectiveness and efficiencies will be achieved due to more tightly focused local area strategies.
Produce better performance results for customers
Yes As above, better performance for customers is one of the goals of the proposed smaller, contiguous, local area. If approved, actual performance will be monitored at the state level.

Oregon Workforce Investment Board
June 13, 2014
Available online at: QualityInfo.org/pubs/youth.pdf
Oregon added tens of thousands of new jobs while recovering from the Great Recession, but recent job growth completely overlooked younger workers. There were actually fewer workers ages 14 to 21 in 2012 than in 2010.
Executive Summary #1
17
Unemployment rates for youth increased drastically during the recession and have not returned to previous levels. The unemployment rate of Oregon teens ages 16 to 19 years was 27.4 percent in 2013, while the rate was 12.5 percent among young adults ages 20 to 24 years.
Executive Summary #2
The recession sent youth unemployment rates to record highs and rates remain at troubling high levels.
Young people were just 13 percent of the labor force in 2013, but they accounted for 29 percent of unemployed Oregonians.

Young workers account for a disproportionate share of overall unemployment and falling labor force participation. Young people ages 16 to 24 make up 13 percent of the labor force, but accounted for 29 percent of Oregon’s unemployed in 2013 and for more than one‐quarter of the decline in the state’s overall labor force participation rate since 2000.
Executive Summary #3
After years of decline, the share of youth participating in the labor force reached the lowest point on record in 2013.
It’s now far more common for teens to be neither working nor looking for a job.

Youth use fewer job search methods than adults, and they are less likely to use personal networks and public employment agencies in their job search. Increasing the job search methods used by young workers could help them find more employment opportunities.
Executive Summary #4
Job search methods of youth differ from search methods of all workers.
Sending out resumes and filling out applications is the most broadly used job search method for all workers.
Youth rely on this method more than the average – with 62% citing this search method (compared with 57% for all workers).
Youth are far less likely to search for jobs using their friends or relatives
Youth seldom visit public employment agencies – this search method was cited by just 9 percent of job seekers ages 16 to 19, compared with 19 percent of all workers.
Just 4 percent of teens use private employment agencies.

The time young people spend unemployed has lengthened significantly. That is time not spent gaining on‐the‐job experience. Consequently, the share of unemployed young people with no previous work experience nearly doubled, making it harder for them to compete with experienced applicants.
Executive Summary #5
The share of unemployed teens with no previous work experience is on the rise, and the lack of experience makes it more difficult to find a job.

Postponing work experience harms young workers’ ability to compete for jobs. Breaking this detrimental cycle could be a focus of public policy efforts. Helping teens find and be successful in their first work experiences could improve their long‐term labor market outcomes.
Executive Summary #6
Counter to popular belief, the Great Recession did not increase the share of “idle” youth – those neither in the labor force nor enrolled in school. Roughly 10 percent of youth ages 16 to 24 are considered idle, in Oregon and the U.S.
Executive Summary #7
22
The number of idle youth has increased over the years, but they remain a relatively small share of the total youth population.

Share of Oregon Youth Not Enrolled in School or in the Labor Force
The use of the word “idle” here is not intended to be judgmental. Some young people face situations more complex than choosing between work, education, or “nothing”.
Stay at home parents
Other family care responsibilities
Young people with disabilities
The money earned by working teens, especially those from lower income families, helps improve their families’ finances and stimulates the local economy.
Executive Summary #8
23
A 2009 summer youth employment program for low income youth in rural Oregon “generated an additional 47 cents in economic impact for every dollar the program spent.”
The youth dedicated the largest share (26%) of their paychecks to family members or guardians.
An additional 20 percent of the youth said they saved their earnings for cars or trucks, housing, college, or future bills.
The remaining spending, most of which occurs locally, was on groceries, gas, clothing, electronics, eating out, and sports.
Money Earned by Teens BenefitsFamilies and the Local Economy
Youth today face increased requirements related to high‐school graduation and college preparation, and those enrolled in school are less likely to be in the labor force than in the past. Many are forgoing early work experience to gain formal education, which could pay off long‐term given the college wage premium.
Executive Summary #9
See note about the college wage premium.
24
Although youth labor market woes are sometimes blamed on stricter regulations, current state and federal regulations for hiring youth have been in place for decades and predate the start of the downward trend in teen labor force participation.
Note: Oregon does not have a minimum wage exemption for younger workers.

Employing minors requires extra paperwork from employers.
Oregon employers must obtain an annual employment certificate to employ minors under 18 years old.
The requirements are simpler now than in 1995 and prior.
Individual permits were required by both the minor and the employer for each minor hired.
Federal law requires employers of minors in agriculture to maintain records of name, address, date of birth, and written parental consent if required.
