Economic concerns include job shedding by Boeing, the decline of the forest products industry, the impact on agriculture of the Asian crisis, and a focus on the consumer internet companies when business-to-business companies appear to offer more future. Unemployment is rising and emigration is greater than immigration. There are also income disparities which concern some inhabitants.
