Portland's Hipster Surplus and Job Shortage

This Wall St. Journal feature may only be available free online for a limited time. It includes photos of Stumptown. Sounds like there are lots of recruiting opportunities for local coffee shops.

Marshall...... read the article. Great photos. By itself, a bit depressing. But then I belong to the "cup half full crowd." Certain pockets of industry seem to be holding. Most people in manufacturing that I chat with are seeing 10 to 30% drop in sales............ but with some project work coming in from funding in '07 through '08. The good news (by observation) is that gas prices are creeping back up. They wouldn't do that unless things were getting better, right?! Wonder if you'll be at Coffee Fest LV? I stopped at SCAA last week, and if I understood correctly, was told the organization would be represented? I should check the exhibitor list.
