What do high unemployment rates, increased taxes and negative State Trust Fund Balances mean to your nonprofit? All these statistics mean less money for your cause.
INCREASED TAX COST: 73%
In 2009, the average unemployment tax cost to the Oregon Employment Department, per employee, was about $598. In order to replenish the diminishing unemployment trust fund caused by the recession, factors used in calculating unemployment rates were increased, therefore increasing the average unemployment tax cost per employee. By 2014 that cost had increased by 73%!
IMPROPER PAYMENT RATE: 10.997%
The Oregon Employment Department had a 10.997% average improper payment rate from 2011 to 2014. Over $68 million improper payments were made in 2014 alone.
