Every year, the Portland Business Journal puts out the “Book of Lists,”

related to Oregon businesses. The 2018/2019 edition of the book, which was published at the end of December, is the 34th anniversary edition.

The information in these lists is gathered through reporting, questionnaires and public records. The topics range from the largest stock brokerage firms in the metro area to the biggest women-owned companies in Oregon and southwest Washington.

Here’s their take on the biggest employers in the Portland metro area. A note: According to the sidebar on this list, “Information was obtained through firm representatives through questionnaires and could not be independently verified by the Portland Business Journal.”
