Paul Martz, economist with the Alaska Dept. of Labor and Workforce Development, highlights the importance of noting pandemic job recovery as varying widely across industries. Some jobs were still below pre-pandemic levels in 2022 — much of the projected growth over the decade will be “catch-up”.

The October edition also features a piece on occupational projections (2022-2032) and the monthly Gauging the Economy report.
