For those who are interested (in the Portland section), the new Fortune 500 list is out, and it includes Precision Castparts as a Fortune 500 company (and PGE is a Fortune 1000 company now, too).

I felt it was only a "short" matter of time before P.C. made the list..... Now lets hope the management and shareholders don't try and sell the company and move the headquarters out of Portland if an offer comes along.

umm... hopefully our lower wages and superior quality of living should help keep them located here.

Unfortunately, I could see that happening. But hopefully it doesn't.
