Ditto for south-western Oregon. We started getting hammered under Carter and it never really has let up.
At my 10 year high school reunion, out of a class of close to 400, exactly one guy showed up who was living in county—more of the women had managed to marry older guys who had found a job. No one with a college education had landed any closer than Portlan—about 6 hours away. I don’t think that any of the college educated guys had ended up in state at the time (though I think that some have made it back since).
