US employees have found that a good work life balance in their day is needed in order to keep themselves sane. Bend, the outdoor recreation mecca located in Oregon, has emerged as an ideal place of business for such experience. Workers have the great outdoors at its best a step away from their workplace. The lifestyle has become a trend in Bend, which attracts more businesses and outdoor industry innovators to the area.
As the Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) attests to: "The success of Bend's outdoor industry is no accident. Established local companies have collaborated with their younger brethren to fuel an entrepreneurial environment with tremendous growth potential, doing it in never-before-seen ways." Furthermore, Bend has been honored with an award for the "#1 Best-Performing Small City for 2016" by the Milken Institute.
