## Contents

| Section | PDF pages | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [dir] [Section 1: Economic Competitiveness](./section-1-economic-competitiveness/INDEX.md) | [pp. 402-425](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=402) | Section 1 examines Oregon's declining economic competitiveness through employment, population, productivity, and fiscal metrics. Job losses (9,100 statewide, 16,000 in three-county metro), $500 million migration-driven income loss, 12% productivity lag versus national average, and stagnant housing construction highlight interconnected challenges. Government expenditures have quadrupled since 2001, concentrated in personal income taxes. |
| [dir] [Section 2: Tax Burden](./section-2-tax-burden/INDEX.md) | [pp. 426-433](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=426) | This section compares Oregon's tax burden to neighboring states across multiple tax types: federal and state income taxes, FICA, payroll taxes, and sales taxes. Analysis shows Oregon's top marginal rate hits earliest among peers and its effective tax burdens rank highest for middle-income households, though future kicker impact modeling carries uncertainties. |
| [dir] [Section 3: Comprehensive Tax Reform Scenarios](./section-3-comprehensive-tax-reform-scenarios/INDEX.md) | [pp. 434-438](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=434) | Section 3: Comprehensive Tax Reform Scenarios |
| [dir] [Section 4: What Is Good Growth? Productivity, Labor Share & Compensation](./section-4-what-is-good-growth-productivity-labor-share-compe/INDEX.md) | [pp. 439-452](https://www.oregon.gov/gov/Documents/Oregon%20Prosperity%20Council%20Report_June%202026.pdf#page=439) | This section examines labor share—workers' share of GDP—as a measure of good growth. It traces the long-term U.S. decline, identifies two mechanisms driving change (structural shifts within industries like manufacturing falling from 62% to 54%, and compositional shifts as lower-labor-share sectors expand), and shows Oregon's outperformance: $6,700 per worker in compensation gains since 1998. |
