Alaska is expected to add 3,000 jobs by 2026, primarily fueled by growth in the oil, gas, and health care sectors. Significant contributions will come from the development of the Pikka oil field and ConocoPhillips' Willow project, while health care is projected to create 1,100 jobs. However, challenges such as declining public school enrollment and reliance on out-of-state workers persist, alongside anticipated federal job losses.
