Jobs For Teens in Oregon

There are many things to keep teenagers busy in the state of Oregon. There are beautiful beaches along the coast, the Columbia River Gorge and its many waterfalls, along with Crater Lake National Park. Oregon teens can explore the variety of shops and restaurants in Portland, and even visit the Portland Japanese Garden. Skiing, hiking, kayaking and rafting are all popular throughout the state. Should teens be looking for something to do other than recreation, the 4.5% unemployment rate in the state of Oregon means that they should be able to find a job to earn money and gain work experience.

If you're under 16 years of age, there are specific labor laws in Oregon that don't allow you to work for traditional employers.  Of course, if you're 14 or 15 years old you can get a work permit in Oregon, but otherwise there isn't too much information on this page that will help you.  With that being said, if you're under 16 years of age and don't have a work permit, please select the appropriate age below to find jobs that suit your age group.

If you're under 16 years old, your job options are different. Please select your age below:
