It's all about the scale

Oregon has recently increased investments in education and research, particularly at the higher, post-secondary level, to spur job growth (among other goals). For a state our size, and in comparison to the past, the investment is not insignificant.

However, when looking at what other states are doing, we must wonder at our commitment. The recent article on the Georgia Research Alliance, showing that they have invested $436 million in public and private dollars since 1990 to grow the Georgia economy. The private investment in Oregon is likely not as substantial, but there is a number that we should tout as well.
