Oregon vs Texas

Forestry support on a $2.7B Pacific file

Oregon’s lead NAICS is support activities for forestry. That is a land-and-resource label, not a manufacturing label. It sits on $2.7B against Texas’s $72.7B pharmaceutical-preparation peak. The comparison is a resource-management mix versus a drug-manufacturing mix, and a small stacked stock versus a large one.

Oregon files 36,965 awards. Texas files 530,634. Oregon’s tape is thin in both rows and dollars. The forestry-support peak is a first read of mix. It is not a claim that every Oregon award is a timber contract. Use the Oregon and Texas state hubs for agencies and recipients.
