Oregon Worker Relief announced a new round of financial assistance to immigrant Oregonians who have lost work due to the pandemic, but are excluded from other relief programs based on their immigration status. Affected workers can apply to receive between $625 and $2,500, depending on their situation.
Immigrants are critical to the economy, making up 13% of the Oregon workforce and contributing $2.8 billion in federal taxes and $1.3 billion in state and local taxes. And of course, immigrants are an important part of many families and communities.
