I don't know if this is significant, or important, but came across this company with $5 TRILLION in revenues while reading up on Portland.

From this lead:

>The U.S. consulting firm Mercer, in a 2009 assessment "conducted to help governments and major companies place employees on international assignments", ranked Portland 42nd worldwide in quality of living; the survey factored in political stability, personal freedom, sanitation, crime, housing, the natural environment, recreation, banking facilities, availability of consumer goods, education, and public services including transportation.

Mercer helps governments and companies place employees on international assignments? That, I think, is another way of saying outsourcing jobs overseas.

Kek! She's a sly one, really admire her.
