STATEWIDE — The Oregon Employment Department plans to close nine of its 47 field offices as part of a plan to cut $25 million from its 2007-09 budget cycle. Offices in Ashland, Burns, Grants Pass, Hood River, John Day, Lincoln City, Milton-Freewater, Newberg and downtown Portland will be closed over the next year.
