The unemployment numbers are out for February of 2016.  There were 242,000 jobs added and the National Unemployment Rate decreased to 4.9%.  In 1953, post 2 recessions, the National Unemployment Rate fell to an all time low of 2.5% whereas, OR and WA fell to 4.7% and 4.4% respectively.

As of December 2015 the unemployment rate for WA is 5.8% and OR is 5.5%.  With this being said, employers are finding it more and more difficult to obtain and retain talented employees due to rising salary's and enticing offers from other organizations.
