In 1983, Work Share was created in Oregon in an effort for b​usinesses to avoid layoffs, retain talent during a temporary decline in business, and continually provide reduced wages plus unemployment benefits to subsidize the reduction in wages. Currently, there are over 1,700 active employers utilizing Work Share in Oregon to avoid wide scale layoffs. ​
