Perhaps you can help. In this link I don’t see Oregon listed in the top or bottom fifteen (or five). I see the top five as Florida (of course), North Dakota, Utah, Nebraska and Minnesota. Minnesota being the outlier here. The others all have republican governors.
This is the article I actually read, because the Yahoo article
referred to it as their source.

"5. Oregon
March 2022 unemployment rate: 3.8%
Year-over-year change in unemployment Feb. 2021: 4.5%
Q4 2021 GDP per capita: $65,806
GDP growth Q3 2021-Q4 2021: 9.8%
Average weekly wages Sept. 2020: $1,220
Percent change in average weekly wages Sept. 2020-Sept. 2021: 9.6%
Percent of population below poverty line 2020: 8.8%"
If you look closely that article was based on information
collected in March. The Yahoo article refers to information collected by
the same source in October.
