Job Opportunities Across Alaska
Located in the northwest corner of North America, Alaska is known as America's "Last Frontier." Despite the cold climate and rough terrain, there is a strong farming industry here in the Matanuska Valley. During the 100-day growing season, farmers cultivate crops like cabbage, lettuce, carrots, and potatoes.
What better to complement those vegetables than some fresh fish? Alaska's fishing industry supports about 60,000 seasonal service jobs. Alaska is also one of the top producers of nonfuel minerals and crude oil in the U.S., making it a hub for extraction jobs.
More than 26 million people visit Alaska each year to go whale watching, fishing, kayaking, glacier viewing, and hiking. The state's tourism industry supports more than 39,000 jobs, including jobs in retail, outdoor recreation, and food service. Whatever you're looking for in your career, find it in Alaska.
