of the state have brought this controversial issue to the forefront once again Despite thIs recent attention the resident hire isshysue is by no means new on the Alaskan political and economic front Resident hire and priority employment for Alaskas resIshydents has been an important issue for many Alaskans for quite some time This article IS an attempt to highlight some of the roots of the resident hIre issue and the recent developments that have rekindled public interest m the issue Following that will be a brief explanation of some preliminary work done by Research and Analysis that pertains to resident hire and a passhysage about what might be expected to develop pertaining to this issue in the near future

Background of the Resident and Nonresident Hire Issue

The hrst major attempt by the State of Alaska to enact a policy of preferential hire for Alaska residents dates from the early 1970s just prior to the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline A 1972 statute under Title 38 chapter 40 provided that the State of Alaska in order to create protect and preserve the right of Alaska residents to employment require private employers involved in any oil and gas activities resulting from leases with the state to first hire and last hre Alaska residents in preference to residents of other states The intent of the legislation was to msure that local residents received the first chance at employshyment which resulted from oil and gas leases from the state

The resident hire preference law under Title 38 was not actively enforced untll 1975 when the Alaska Department of Labor beshygan issuing residency cards to qualified individuals based upon their residence m Alaska for one year After Executive Order 76-1 declared that all private companies cease and desist disshy

patching nonresidents to pipeline constructIon Jobs if there were qualified Alaskans available to work the first courtroom battle over Alaska hire preference was begun The ensuing lawsuit over the resident hire law signaled the beginning of many leshygal battles over the residency issue including the well publishycized Permanent Fund dividend case and the current case before the Alaska Supreme Court challenging the resident hire requirements on public construction projects The law requirshying resident hire on state owned oil and gas leases was eventushyally declared unconstItutional by the Us Supreme Court in 1979 in Hicklin etal v Orbeck but it has remained a policy objecshytive of both the legislative and the executive branches of the state government to employ Alaskan residents first wherever possible This policy objective IS the root of Title 36s reqUlreshyment that state funded construction projects have 95 residents on the job (TItle 36 predates Title 38)

A resident hire preference has not only been a concern of the government of the State of Alaska but it has also received strong support from the states unions Prior to construction of the pIpeshyline umon locals led by prominent labor leader and Teamsters Local 959 chief Jesse Carr refused to sign labor agreements with the oil companies participating in the construction of the Trans-Alaska pipelme until the companies adopted provisIons guaranteeing the preferential hire of Alaskan union members The concern of the unions was that the oil companies were planshyning to use a great deal of imported labor from the lower 48 among other items The labor agreement that covered the pipeshyline construction period was followed by a new five-year agreeshyment in 1980 between seventeen Alaska unions ARCO Alaska and Sohio Construction company The agreement which exshytends to 1985 provides that most of the construction work at Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk during this period would be pershyformed by union labor With the recent decline moil pnces however unions have lost the leverage that they had several years ago The labor agreement in effect for the last five years will not be renewed according to Sohio and ARCO and some construction not covered by the agreement has already been awarded to non-union contractors on a job by job basis known as merit contracting The expiration of existing contracts has been a matter of great concern to union leaders as 1986 and 1987 are scheduled to be the biggest construction seasons on the North Slope and they believe merit contracting will cause a massive influx of transient non-union workers from the lower 48

Recent Legislative Developments

The first sessIon of the Fourteenth Alaska LegIslature focused attention on the resident hlIe issue m the form of an amendment to TItle 36 of the Alaska Statutes which is commonly referred to as Alaskas Resident Hire Law This amendment was intendshyed to clarify the legislative intent underlying the resident hire law in light of a Superior Court ruling striking down as unconshystitutional the requirement that state funded construction projects employ 95 Alaska resIdents (90 if the payroll is 10 or less) if Alaskans are qualified and available to work (Under a stay granted by the Alaska Supreme Court Title 36 was enshyforced until July 1985)

Efforts to insure that Alaskans are hired first have not been limitshyed to policy makers at the state level US Senator Frank Murshykowski recently sponsored an amendment to a defense appropriation bill which requires resident hire preference on military construction projects in all states not contiguous to one another that have unemployment rates above the national avershyage an amendment which no other state stands to benefit from unless Hawaiis unemployment rate should climb In short Alasshykas higher than average unemployment rate combined with a work force that is extremely seasonal in nature has made any employment that can be controlled through public policy or orshyganized political pressure a target for reSIdent hire The primary focus of public policy has been in the oil and gas and construcshytion industries where not coincidentally the highest average wages in Alaska eXIst

Exploring Resident and Nonresident Employment

Although the issue of resident hire m Alaska has been debatshyed for many years there has been little statistical information compiled on the economic effects of resident and nonresident employment Even percentages of industry employment that is nonresident is hard to come by During the construction of the Trans-Alaska pipelme employers were required to report resishydent and nonresident employment this data however was limitshyed to the pipeline construction firms only and its compilation was eventually discontinued

During the 1985 Legislative Session the Alaska Department of Labor Research and Analysis section did a preliminary study

3

of resident and nonresident employment The result of this study was a computer cross-match of the social security numbers of individuals who worked at any tIme in 1984 under the covershyage of Alaskas unemployment insurance with the social secushynty numbers of the 1984 Permanent Fund dlndend recipients By doing this cross-match it can be determined how many of Alaskas wage and salary employees (excluding federal governshyment employment most fish harvesters and the self-employed) receIved Permanent Fund dividends Since the receipt of the 1984 dividend required residence in Alaska dunng the penod from October 1 1983 until March 31 1984 the resulting match gIves a good baseline from WhICh to calculate resident emshyployment

However a match against the Permanent Fund dividend recipient file will not provIde a perfect definition of resident emshyployment since there are many people who arrived m Alaska during the 15 month period from October I 1983 to December 31 1984 who became residents of the state subsequent to the cutoff for ellgibility for the dividend Analysis of Internal Revenue Service migration data has further indIcated that 129 of Alaskans who filed federal income tax returns for 1983 were not residents of Alaska in 1982 This percentage compares to a rate of 141 for the previous year Extrapolating the two migrashytion rates to cover the 15 month period of October 1983-December 1984 would indicate that approximately 16 to 18 of the wage earners would be new residents not qualified to receive the dividend In addition an undetermined number of persons who qualified for the dividend would have not apshyplied for the dividend for one reason or another If this amounted to no more than 2 of the population combining the two facshytors of in-migration and failure to file would result in an initial adjustment of nearly 20 One other factor to be noted here is that migration data is not available by industry and it is probshyable that employees in anyone industry would migrate at a rate significantly different from this 20 adjustment For example government employment would be expected to have a much lower migration rate than an industry where employment is more transient such as construction or seafood processmg

The cross-match was designed to group employees by indusshytry and by geographical area but in a different manner than the normal industry and area sorting procedures used by the

other difficulties or adjustment factors that have yet to be uncoshyvered Accordmgly these figures must be considered very prelimmary at this time until further research can be conductshyed on this subject Due to the limitations of the data at thIS p omt were going to introduce a change in terminology that better defines the informatlOn complied below Instead of re ferring to resident and nonresident employment we will call this recipIent and nonrecipient employment keeping in mind the relatlOnshlp of the data to an employees resident or nonresishydent status

Highlights from the Cross-match

During the Eve quarters that were covered by the cross-match Statewide nonreclpient employment ranged from a low of 242 during the first quarter of 1984 to a high of 304 during the 4th quarter of 1984 In a separate match of all quarters m 1984 to the dIvidend file 36 of all the employees on Alaskas Unemshyployment Insurance tax files did not receive a Permanent Fund dividend While 36 of all employment in 1984 consisted of nonshyrecipients the wages paId to nonrecipients during the same penshyod did not result in as high a percentage as the employment

did Wages paid to nonreclpients amounted to no more than 24 of the total during any quarter in 1984 and the average for the entire year was 21 This was evident in the average wage of nonrecipients which was 48 of that of the average for recipients of the dividend

In terms of industry grouping the range of nonrecipient emshyployment varied widely from the 36 average Industries at the lower end of the scale were public administratlon and educashytion with 14 and 17 nonrecipients respectively This is to be expected as residents often have the first opportunity at Jobs with state and local governments and school districts Also this type of employment is not subject to the instability that other industries experience which would tend to make the nonshyrecipient ratio much lower than the average Of the major inshydustry groups besides government finance insurance and real estate (FIRE) had the next lowest number of nonreciplents at

Page 2: Resident and Nonresident Employment in Alaskalaborstats.alaska.gov/trends/Aug85art1.pdf · 2011-12-05 · Resident and Nonresident Employment in Alaska By John Boucher Introduction

patching nonresidents to pipeline constructIon Jobs if there were qualified Alaskans available to work the first courtroom battle over Alaska hire preference was begun The ensuing lawsuit over the resident hire law signaled the beginning of many leshygal battles over the residency issue including the well publishycized Permanent Fund dividend case and the current case before the Alaska Supreme Court challenging the resident hire requirements on public construction projects The law requirshying resident hire on state owned oil and gas leases was eventushyally declared unconstItutional by the Us Supreme Court in 1979 in Hicklin etal v Orbeck but it has remained a policy objecshytive of both the legislative and the executive branches of the state government to employ Alaskan residents first wherever possible This policy objective IS the root of Title 36s reqUlreshyment that state funded construction projects have 95 residents on the job (TItle 36 predates Title 38)

A resident hire preference has not only been a concern of the government of the State of Alaska but it has also received strong support from the states unions Prior to construction of the pIpeshyline umon locals led by prominent labor leader and Teamsters Local 959 chief Jesse Carr refused to sign labor agreements with the oil companies participating in the construction of the Trans-Alaska pipelme until the companies adopted provisIons guaranteeing the preferential hire of Alaskan union members The concern of the unions was that the oil companies were planshyning to use a great deal of imported labor from the lower 48 among other items The labor agreement that covered the pipeshyline construction period was followed by a new five-year agreeshyment in 1980 between seventeen Alaska unions ARCO Alaska and Sohio Construction company The agreement which exshytends to 1985 provides that most of the construction work at Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk during this period would be pershyformed by union labor With the recent decline moil pnces however unions have lost the leverage that they had several years ago The labor agreement in effect for the last five years will not be renewed according to Sohio and ARCO and some construction not covered by the agreement has already been awarded to non-union contractors on a job by job basis known as merit contracting The expiration of existing contracts has been a matter of great concern to union leaders as 1986 and 1987 are scheduled to be the biggest construction seasons on the North Slope and they believe merit contracting will cause a massive influx of transient non-union workers from the lower 48

Recent Legislative Developments

The first sessIon of the Fourteenth Alaska LegIslature focused attention on the resident hlIe issue m the form of an amendment to TItle 36 of the Alaska Statutes which is commonly referred to as Alaskas Resident Hire Law This amendment was intendshyed to clarify the legislative intent underlying the resident hire law in light of a Superior Court ruling striking down as unconshystitutional the requirement that state funded construction projects employ 95 Alaska resIdents (90 if the payroll is 10 or less) if Alaskans are qualified and available to work (Under a stay granted by the Alaska Supreme Court Title 36 was enshyforced until July 1985)

Efforts to insure that Alaskans are hired first have not been limitshyed to policy makers at the state level US Senator Frank Murshykowski recently sponsored an amendment to a defense appropriation bill which requires resident hire preference on military construction projects in all states not contiguous to one another that have unemployment rates above the national avershyage an amendment which no other state stands to benefit from unless Hawaiis unemployment rate should climb In short Alasshykas higher than average unemployment rate combined with a work force that is extremely seasonal in nature has made any employment that can be controlled through public policy or orshyganized political pressure a target for reSIdent hire The primary focus of public policy has been in the oil and gas and construcshytion industries where not coincidentally the highest average wages in Alaska eXIst

Exploring Resident and Nonresident Employment

Although the issue of resident hire m Alaska has been debatshyed for many years there has been little statistical information compiled on the economic effects of resident and nonresident employment Even percentages of industry employment that is nonresident is hard to come by During the construction of the Trans-Alaska pipelme employers were required to report resishydent and nonresident employment this data however was limitshyed to the pipeline construction firms only and its compilation was eventually discontinued

During the 1985 Legislative Session the Alaska Department of Labor Research and Analysis section did a preliminary study

of resident and nonresident employment The result of this study was a computer cross-match of the social security numbers of individuals who worked at any tIme in 1984 under the covershyage of Alaskas unemployment insurance with the social secushynty numbers of the 1984 Permanent Fund dlndend recipients By doing this cross-match it can be determined how many of Alaskas wage and salary employees (excluding federal governshyment employment most fish harvesters and the self-employed) receIved Permanent Fund dividends Since the receipt of the 1984 dividend required residence in Alaska dunng the penod from October 1 1983 until March 31 1984 the resulting match gIves a good baseline from WhICh to calculate resident emshyployment

However a match against the Permanent Fund dividend recipient file will not provIde a perfect definition of resident emshyployment since there are many people who arrived m Alaska during the 15 month period from October I 1983 to December 31 1984 who became residents of the state subsequent to the cutoff for ellgibility for the dividend Analysis of Internal Revenue Service migration data has further indIcated that 129 of Alaskans who filed federal income tax returns for 1983 were not residents of Alaska in 1982 This percentage compares to a rate of 141 for the previous year Extrapolating the two migrashytion rates to cover the 15 month period of October 1983-December 1984 would indicate that approximately 16 to 18 of the wage earners would be new residents not qualified to receive the dividend In addition an undetermined number of persons who qualified for the dividend would have not apshyplied for the dividend for one reason or another If this amounted to no more than 2 of the population combining the two facshytors of in-migration and failure to file would result in an initial adjustment of nearly 20 One other factor to be noted here is that migration data is not available by industry and it is probshyable that employees in anyone industry would migrate at a rate significantly different from this 20 adjustment For example government employment would be expected to have a much lower migration rate than an industry where employment is more transient such as construction or seafood processmg

The cross-match was designed to group employees by indusshytry and by geographical area but in a different manner than the normal industry and area sorting procedures used by the

did Wages paid to nonreclpients amounted to no more than 24 of the total during any quarter in 1984 and the average for the entire year was 21 This was evident in the average wage of nonrecipients which was 48 of that of the average for recipients of the dividend

In terms of industry grouping the range of nonrecipient emshyployment varied widely from the 36 average Industries at the lower end of the scale were public administratlon and educashytion with 14 and 17 nonrecipients respectively This is to be expected as residents often have the first opportunity at Jobs with state and local governments and school districts Also this type of employment is not subject to the instability that other industries experience which would tend to make the nonshyrecipient ratio much lower than the average Of the major inshydustry groups besides government finance insurance and real estate (FIRE) had the next lowest number of nonreciplents at

Another factor to consider is what impact any resident hue polishycy might have on the future development of an industry An efshyfectIve resident hire policy must be coupled with sound labor force planning and training policies Otherwise it might have the effect of limiting the supply of available labor to the employshyer which could drive up the cost of labor Labor costs are an important factor in the development of any industry or project and increased wages may mean the difference between some projects being feasible or unfeasible To some extent this is alshyready taking place in Alaska on the North Slope Labor is havshy

One thing is assured about the issue of resident hire in Alaska it will be an issue policy makers will be forced to vnestle wlth for the next 15 years just as they have during the last 15 years There are no immediate answers to the questions raised by this issue about the health of the Alaskan economy Continued research is being conducted by Research and Analysis which will deal with the limitations that the first cross-match was not

Page 3: Resident and Nonresident Employment in Alaskalaborstats.alaska.gov/trends/Aug85art1.pdf · 2011-12-05 · Resident and Nonresident Employment in Alaska By John Boucher Introduction

Recent Legislative Developments

The first sessIon of the Fourteenth Alaska LegIslature focused attention on the resident hlIe issue m the form of an amendment to TItle 36 of the Alaska Statutes which is commonly referred to as Alaskas Resident Hire Law This amendment was intendshyed to clarify the legislative intent underlying the resident hire law in light of a Superior Court ruling striking down as unconshystitutional the requirement that state funded construction projects employ 95 Alaska resIdents (90 if the payroll is 10 or less) if Alaskans are qualified and available to work (Under a stay granted by the Alaska Supreme Court Title 36 was enshyforced until July 1985)

Efforts to insure that Alaskans are hired first have not been limitshyed to policy makers at the state level US Senator Frank Murshykowski recently sponsored an amendment to a defense appropriation bill which requires resident hire preference on military construction projects in all states not contiguous to one another that have unemployment rates above the national avershyage an amendment which no other state stands to benefit from unless Hawaiis unemployment rate should climb In short Alasshykas higher than average unemployment rate combined with a work force that is extremely seasonal in nature has made any employment that can be controlled through public policy or orshyganized political pressure a target for reSIdent hire The primary focus of public policy has been in the oil and gas and construcshytion industries where not coincidentally the highest average wages in Alaska eXIst

Exploring Resident and Nonresident Employment

Although the issue of resident hire m Alaska has been debatshyed for many years there has been little statistical information compiled on the economic effects of resident and nonresident employment Even percentages of industry employment that is nonresident is hard to come by During the construction of the Trans-Alaska pipelme employers were required to report resishydent and nonresident employment this data however was limitshyed to the pipeline construction firms only and its compilation was eventually discontinued

During the 1985 Legislative Session the Alaska Department of Labor Research and Analysis section did a preliminary study

3

of resident and nonresident employment The result of this study was a computer cross-match of the social security numbers of individuals who worked at any tIme in 1984 under the covershyage of Alaskas unemployment insurance with the social secushynty numbers of the 1984 Permanent Fund dlndend recipients By doing this cross-match it can be determined how many of Alaskas wage and salary employees (excluding federal governshyment employment most fish harvesters and the self-employed) receIved Permanent Fund dividends Since the receipt of the 1984 dividend required residence in Alaska dunng the penod from October 1 1983 until March 31 1984 the resulting match gIves a good baseline from WhICh to calculate resident emshyployment

However a match against the Permanent Fund dividend recipient file will not provIde a perfect definition of resident emshyployment since there are many people who arrived m Alaska during the 15 month period from October I 1983 to December 31 1984 who became residents of the state subsequent to the cutoff for ellgibility for the dividend Analysis of Internal Revenue Service migration data has further indIcated that 129 of Alaskans who filed federal income tax returns for 1983 were not residents of Alaska in 1982 This percentage compares to a rate of 141 for the previous year Extrapolating the two migrashytion rates to cover the 15 month period of October 1983-December 1984 would indicate that approximately 16 to 18 of the wage earners would be new residents not qualified to receive the dividend In addition an undetermined number of persons who qualified for the dividend would have not apshyplied for the dividend for one reason or another If this amounted to no more than 2 of the population combining the two facshytors of in-migration and failure to file would result in an initial adjustment of nearly 20 One other factor to be noted here is that migration data is not available by industry and it is probshyable that employees in anyone industry would migrate at a rate significantly different from this 20 adjustment For example government employment would be expected to have a much lower migration rate than an industry where employment is more transient such as construction or seafood processmg

The cross-match was designed to group employees by indusshytry and by geographical area but in a different manner than the normal industry and area sorting procedures used by the

other difficulties or adjustment factors that have yet to be uncoshyvered Accordmgly these figures must be considered very prelimmary at this time until further research can be conductshyed on this subject Due to the limitations of the data at thIS p omt were going to introduce a change in terminology that better defines the informatlOn complied below Instead of re ferring to resident and nonresident employment we will call this recipIent and nonrecipient employment keeping in mind the relatlOnshlp of the data to an employees resident or nonresishydent status

Highlights from the Cross-match

During the Eve quarters that were covered by the cross-match Statewide nonreclpient employment ranged from a low of 242 during the first quarter of 1984 to a high of 304 during the 4th quarter of 1984 In a separate match of all quarters m 1984 to the dIvidend file 36 of all the employees on Alaskas Unemshyployment Insurance tax files did not receive a Permanent Fund dividend While 36 of all employment in 1984 consisted of nonshyrecipients the wages paId to nonrecipients during the same penshyod did not result in as high a percentage as the employment

did Wages paid to nonreclpients amounted to no more than 24 of the total during any quarter in 1984 and the average for the entire year was 21 This was evident in the average wage of nonrecipients which was 48 of that of the average for recipients of the dividend

In terms of industry grouping the range of nonrecipient emshyployment varied widely from the 36 average Industries at the lower end of the scale were public administratlon and educashytion with 14 and 17 nonrecipients respectively This is to be expected as residents often have the first opportunity at Jobs with state and local governments and school districts Also this type of employment is not subject to the instability that other industries experience which would tend to make the nonshyrecipient ratio much lower than the average Of the major inshydustry groups besides government finance insurance and real estate (FIRE) had the next lowest number of nonreciplents at

26 and then came transportation communications and utilishyties at 29 The relatively low number of nonrecipients in F I R E is somewhat difficult to assess the presence of Native corposhyrations within thIS sector however would account for a portion of the high percentage of recipient employment Other occushypations such as the middle and upper management in the bankshying and fmance industry would lend themselves to high ratios of recipient employment however at the entry levels of this inshydustry such as tellers turnover would expected to be fairly high and nonrecipient employment would also be high Transportashytion communicatlOns and utilities has a lower nonrecipient rashytio because of the high ratio of recipients employed by utilities such as Alascom and municipally owned utilities Air carriers that are based in Alaska also contributed a high number of recipIents to the total

Page 4: Resident and Nonresident Employment in Alaskalaborstats.alaska.gov/trends/Aug85art1.pdf · 2011-12-05 · Resident and Nonresident Employment in Alaska By John Boucher Introduction

of resident and nonresident employment The result of this study was a computer cross-match of the social security numbers of individuals who worked at any tIme in 1984 under the covershyage of Alaskas unemployment insurance with the social secushynty numbers of the 1984 Permanent Fund dlndend recipients By doing this cross-match it can be determined how many of Alaskas wage and salary employees (excluding federal governshyment employment most fish harvesters and the self-employed) receIved Permanent Fund dividends Since the receipt of the 1984 dividend required residence in Alaska dunng the penod from October 1 1983 until March 31 1984 the resulting match gIves a good baseline from WhICh to calculate resident emshyployment

However a match against the Permanent Fund dividend recipient file will not provIde a perfect definition of resident emshyployment since there are many people who arrived m Alaska during the 15 month period from October I 1983 to December 31 1984 who became residents of the state subsequent to the cutoff for ellgibility for the dividend Analysis of Internal Revenue Service migration data has further indIcated that 129 of Alaskans who filed federal income tax returns for 1983 were not residents of Alaska in 1982 This percentage compares to a rate of 141 for the previous year Extrapolating the two migrashytion rates to cover the 15 month period of October 1983-December 1984 would indicate that approximately 16 to 18 of the wage earners would be new residents not qualified to receive the dividend In addition an undetermined number of persons who qualified for the dividend would have not apshyplied for the dividend for one reason or another If this amounted to no more than 2 of the population combining the two facshytors of in-migration and failure to file would result in an initial adjustment of nearly 20 One other factor to be noted here is that migration data is not available by industry and it is probshyable that employees in anyone industry would migrate at a rate significantly different from this 20 adjustment For example government employment would be expected to have a much lower migration rate than an industry where employment is more transient such as construction or seafood processmg

The cross-match was designed to group employees by indusshytry and by geographical area but in a different manner than the normal industry and area sorting procedures used by the

other difficulties or adjustment factors that have yet to be uncoshyvered Accordmgly these figures must be considered very prelimmary at this time until further research can be conductshyed on this subject Due to the limitations of the data at thIS p omt were going to introduce a change in terminology that better defines the informatlOn complied below Instead of re ferring to resident and nonresident employment we will call this recipIent and nonrecipient employment keeping in mind the relatlOnshlp of the data to an employees resident or nonresishydent status

did Wages paid to nonreclpients amounted to no more than 24 of the total during any quarter in 1984 and the average for the entire year was 21 This was evident in the average wage of nonrecipients which was 48 of that of the average for recipients of the dividend

In terms of industry grouping the range of nonrecipient emshyployment varied widely from the 36 average Industries at the lower end of the scale were public administratlon and educashytion with 14 and 17 nonrecipients respectively This is to be expected as residents often have the first opportunity at Jobs with state and local governments and school districts Also this type of employment is not subject to the instability that other industries experience which would tend to make the nonshyrecipient ratio much lower than the average Of the major inshydustry groups besides government finance insurance and real estate (FIRE) had the next lowest number of nonreciplents at

In terms of industry grouping the range of nonrecipient emshyployment varied widely from the 36 average Industries at the lower end of the scale were public administratlon and educashytion with 14 and 17 nonrecipients respectively This is to be expected as residents often have the first opportunity at Jobs with state and local governments and school districts Also this type of employment is not subject to the instability that other industries experience which would tend to make the nonshyrecipient ratio much lower than the average Of the major inshydustry groups besides government finance insurance and real estate (FIRE) had the next lowest number of nonreciplents at

26 and then came transportation communications and utilishyties at 29 The relatively low number of nonrecipients in F I R E is somewhat difficult to assess the presence of Native corposhyrations within thIS sector however would account for a portion of the high percentage of recipient employment Other occushypations such as the middle and upper management in the bankshying and fmance industry would lend themselves to high ratios of recipient employment however at the entry levels of this inshydustry such as tellers turnover would expected to be fairly high and nonrecipient employment would also be high Transportashytion communicatlOns and utilities has a lower nonrecipient rashytio because of the high ratio of recipients employed by utilities such as Alascom and municipally owned utilities Air carriers that are based in Alaska also contributed a high number of recipIents to the total

Summary

While this data is prelimmary it does give some very good inshydications of the extent to WhiCh nonresidents impact the Alaskan economy and which industries and areas are most affected It is up to the states policy makers to decide whether or not nonshyresidents are adversely impacting the Alaskan economy by takshying too large a share of total employment and wages from the states residents Determining how much nonresident employshyment is acceptable will be difficult because each industry has its own employment peculiarities Each industry must be anashy

did Wages paid to nonreclpients amounted to no more than 24 of the total during any quarter in 1984 and the average for the entire year was 21 This was evident in the average wage of nonrecipients which was 48 of that of the average for recipients of the dividend

In terms of industry grouping the range of nonrecipient emshyployment varied widely from the 36 average Industries at the lower end of the scale were public administratlon and educashytion with 14 and 17 nonrecipients respectively This is to be expected as residents often have the first opportunity at Jobs with state and local governments and school districts Also this type of employment is not subject to the instability that other industries experience which would tend to make the nonshyrecipient ratio much lower than the average Of the major inshydustry groups besides government finance insurance and real estate (FIRE) had the next lowest number of nonreciplents at

26 and then came transportation communications and utilishyties at 29 The relatively low number of nonrecipients in F I R E is somewhat difficult to assess the presence of Native corposhyrations within thIS sector however would account for a portion of the high percentage of recipient employment Other occushypations such as the middle and upper management in the bankshying and fmance industry would lend themselves to high ratios of recipient employment however at the entry levels of this inshydustry such as tellers turnover would expected to be fairly high and nonrecipient employment would also be high Transportashytion communicatlOns and utilities has a lower nonrecipient rashytio because of the high ratio of recipients employed by utilities such as Alascom and municipally owned utilities Air carriers that are based in Alaska also contributed a high number of recipIents to the total

did Wages paid to nonreclpients amounted to no more than 24 of the total during any quarter in 1984 and the average for the entire year was 21 This was evident in the average wage of nonrecipients which was 48 of that of the average for recipients of the dividend

In terms of industry grouping the range of nonrecipient emshyployment varied widely from the 36 average Industries at the lower end of the scale were public administratlon and educashytion with 14 and 17 nonrecipients respectively This is to be expected as residents often have the first opportunity at Jobs with state and local governments and school districts Also this type of employment is not subject to the instability that other industries experience which would tend to make the nonshyrecipient ratio much lower than the average Of the major inshydustry groups besides government finance insurance and real estate (FIRE) had the next lowest number of nonreciplents at

26 and then came transportation communications and utilishyties at 29 The relatively low number of nonrecipients in F I R E is somewhat difficult to assess the presence of Native corposhyrations within thIS sector however would account for a portion of the high percentage of recipient employment Other occushypations such as the middle and upper management in the bankshying and fmance industry would lend themselves to high ratios of recipient employment however at the entry levels of this inshydustry such as tellers turnover would expected to be fairly high and nonrecipient employment would also be high Transportashytion communicatlOns and utilities has a lower nonrecipient rashytio because of the high ratio of recipients employed by utilities such as Alascom and municipally owned utilities Air carriers that are based in Alaska also contributed a high number of recipIents to the total

ployment m Juneau and the health services employment in Sltshyka had the States lowest level of nonrecipient employment at 30 The Wade-Hampton and the Kobuk census d1V1S1ons had the lowest nonrec1p1ent totals with 17 and 21 nonrec1pients respectively This is probably due to the scarc1ty of wage and salary employment that 1S covered by UI in these two areas Since opportumty is scarce in these areas res1dents would have a much better chance at the employment Juneau had the lowest ratio of nonrecipients among the major population centers with 22 nonrecipients Anchorage and Fairbanks both came m at 35 nonrecipient and Kenai had 36 nonrecipients

ployment m Juneau and the health services employment in Sltshyka had the States lowest level of nonrecipient employment at 30 The Wade-Hampton and the Kobuk census d1V1S1ons had the lowest nonrec1p1ent totals with 17 and 21 nonrec1pients respectively This is probably due to the scarc1ty of wage and salary employment that 1S covered by UI in these two areas Since opportumty is scarce in these areas res1dents would have a much better chance at the employment Juneau had the lowest ratio of nonrecipients among the major population centers with 22 nonrecipients Anchorage and Fairbanks both came m at 35 nonrecipient and Kenai had 36 nonrecipients

ployment m Juneau and the health services employment in Sltshyka had the States lowest level of nonrecipient employment at 30 The Wade-Hampton and the Kobuk census d1V1S1ons had the lowest nonrec1p1ent totals with 17 and 21 nonrec1pients respectively This is probably due to the scarc1ty of wage and salary employment that 1S covered by UI in these two areas Since opportumty is scarce in these areas res1dents would have a much better chance at the employment Juneau had the lowest ratio of nonrecipients among the major population centers with 22 nonrecipients Anchorage and Fairbanks both came m at 35 nonrecipient and Kenai had 36 nonrecipients
