“For the implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Governor Kate Brown designated nine Local Workforce Development Areas (local areas). The nine local areas are:

• Baker, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, Union, and Wallowa counties
• Benton, Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln, and Tillamook counties
• Clackamas County
• Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties
• Crook, Deschutes, Gilliam, Hood River, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Sherman, Wasco, and Wheeler counties
• Jackson and Josephine counties
• Lane County
• Linn, Marion, Polk, and Yamhill counties
• Multnomah and Washington counties and the City of Portland

Further, for purposes of identifying regions, as described and required in WIOA Sec. 106 (a), each of these local areas will be a region unto itself, as allowed in WIOA Sec. 106 (a)(2)(A).”
