WORST TECH TOWN FOR WOMEN?

Itâ€™s no secret that Portland has challenges with regards to diversity. But a recent article about Portland being the worst metropolitan area for women in technology fields brought many of those concerns to the forefront. Unequal pay, poor hiring ratios, discriminationâ€¦ it was all there. This led OPBâ€™s April Baer to sit down with women from PDX Women In Tech to discuss their experiences.

YOU MIGHT LIKE OREGONâ€¦

Often, some of the simplest Web implementations are some of the most fun and compelling. And the latest effort from Travel Oregon is no different. While the piece is targeted at tourism, thereâ€™s absolutely no reason that you canâ€™t repurpose it for your careers page to help with hiring. Hint, hint.

IN THE WORLD OF STARTUPS, THERE ARE NO INCONSEQUENTIAL ACTIONS

â€œYou never knowâ€¦â€ Thatâ€™s the phrase that constantly and consistently rings through every startup founderâ€™s head. â€œYou never knowâ€¦â€ Because you never do know. You never know what seemingly inconsequential action is going to trigger a chain of events that could have the potential to accelerate your company into the stratosphereâ€Šâ€”â€Šor directly into the ground.
