Wage Records
If each of Alaska's workers was employed in one job continuously throughout his working life, then the task of understanding the labor market would be simple. However, we all know the labor market is much more fluid. Workers are hired and separate from jobs continuously throughout the year. Some workers are employed in multiple jobs consecutively or concurrently over time. Some work only seasonally, and some come from other parts of the country and from around the world to work in Alaska.
