Statewide polling by the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center asks about lasting effects of pandemic on Oregon.
The novel coronavirus has upended nearly every facet of modern life over the past year — but will those changes stick?
Many Oregonians predict that online shopping and working from home are here to stay; virtual schooling and high unemployment, on the other hand, are expected to linger temporarily.
