Below Freaky fanged fish found along Oregon Coast JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc. A puzzling event is occurring along Oregon’s Coast. Lancetfish have been washing ashore along Oregon’s beaches over the past few weeks from Nehalem south to Bandon, and no one is sure why, according to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). “These deep-sea fish live in tropical and subtropical waters and can migrate as far north as the Bering Sea to feed,” OPRD stated on the agency’s social media page.
From the Twilight Zone The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries provides details about this aquatic animal, stating on the NOAA website that the “lancetfish really are creatures from the Twilight Zone.” Lancetfish look like they swam out of prehistoric time.” The NOAA website site reads. The fish features include gaping fanged jaws, enormous eyes, a sail-like fin, and long, and a slithery body. Lancetfish are scaleless fish, with smooth skin and pores along the lateral line. Their dino-

Growing to more than 7-feet long, lancetfish are one of the largest deep-sea fish,
according to NOAA Fisheries. These fish swim to depths more than a mile below the

It Takes Two (or More): Oregon’s multiple jobholders in 2022 ANNA JOHNSON News Guard Guest Article In 2022, 97,000 Oregonians held more than one job in addition to their primary job and were considered multiple jobholders. By the numbers The multiple jobholding rate – the proportion of multi-
ple jobholders among all employed workers 16 years and older – was 4.6%, a record low for the series, which goes back to 1994. Oregon’s multiple-jobholding rate reached a record high of 8.7% in 1995. The national multiple jobholding rate in 2022 was 4.8%, an increase from 4.6% in 2021. This is the first year since 2004 that Oregon had a lower rate the U.S.
Multiple jobholding has generally become rarer in Oregon and the U.S. since 1995. Research shows that people are less likely to take on a second job than they were in the past. The pandemic recession and the recovery in 2021 and 2022 have shown a decrease in the multiple jobholding rate in Oregon. Data in this article comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Current
Population Survey. Oregonians Less Likely to Work Multiple Jobs in 2022 Oregon workers were more likely to hold more than one job at a time than our national counterparts, a trend dating back at least two decades. Oregon’s multiple jobholding rate has been higher
than the U.S. every year since 1994, with the brief exceptions of 2004 and 2022. Both the U.S. and Oregon’s multiple job holding rates decreased in 2020. Since then, the U.S. and Oregon have experienced different trends: Oregon’s multiple job holding rate has decreased, while the U.S.’s has increased. Economic conditions can

That is because fewer jobs are available during recessions, right when more people need a second job to help meet their
