Workforce Wednesday: Economic opportunities

In the face of an economic downturn in Alaska, some may be wondering if there are jobs to be had.
Wednesday, state labor economist Neal Fried said “fear not.” While the state is still losing jobs at a rate currently higher than the national average, turnover rate works to its advantage. Many who have lost their jobs in oil, construction or even retail leave Alaska. There are also fewer people coming in looking for employment. It potentially means more opportunities for job seekers.
