The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development released its 2022 job forecast and expects the state to recover about 9,800 jobs this year, leaving Alaska about 11,000 jobs short of where employment was in 2019.
The 3.2% jump in jobs is an increase from the 2.3% uptick in 2021, leaving Alaska about 11,000 jobs short of where employment was in 2019, according to the report.
The industries forecasted to meet or exceed their pre-pandemic job numbers were construction, health care and jobs provided through federal government. According to the report, the health care sector is on track to “fully recover” this year, with 500 added jobs forecasted for 2022. That sector had gained 900 jobs in 2021, the report found, which pushed health care employment above 2019 levels.
“One of the premier industries is of course the oil industry and that one we’ve seen it got hit really hard during COVID,” Fried said. “... We’ve seen very little recovery so far in the numbers but we do expect things to improve.” “One thing that was encouraging to us was the visitor sector. It came in much stronger than we expected last year,” Fried said.
