The city passed 100,000 people in 2019 and has kept adding residents every year since 2020. The local labor force now stands at 58,482 people.

Finding a Job in Bend
Unemployment in Bend is 3.7%, well under Oregon’s 5.4%, which is good news for job seekers. Plenty of people want to live here, though, so strong roles still draw a crowd, and a few things help:
- Know which Bend you’re applying to. A hospital, a school district, an aircraft maker and a ski area all hire differently. Match your resume to the organization, not just the job title.
- Budget for housing before you negotiate. With home values this far above the state figure, know the salary you need before the first interview, not after the offer.
- Prepare like it matters. Know the employer’s mission, the role’s scope and the questions you want answered. Our career advice library has more.
