Investor Presentaiton

Trade and Services Much of Alaska's employment growth over the past 40 years has come in support industries- particularly trade and services. Trade and service jobs now account for about half of total Alaska employment. Alaskans are much more likely to work in a retail store or a hospital than on an oil rig or a fishing boat. The growth in trade and services has led to a decline in average Alaska wages—because wages tend to be lower in trade and services than in other industries.
