The largest industries in Oregon have been the tech companies since their arrival in the 1970's. Intel is currently the largest for-profit employer in the state, there are so many tech companies headquartered in Oregon there is a region in Portland nicknamed "Silicon Forest". Oregon used to be a top supplier of timber but due to fires, regulations and lawsuits that industry has slowed for the state. Oregon also currently has one of the largest salmon-fishing industries in the world.
