Although oil production dominates the economy, Alaska has a very high poverty rate and consistently has the highest unemployment rate in the country.
It’s a man’s world
Alaska is one of 10 states in the U.S. that has more men than women. The male to female ratio in the United States as a whole is about even, but as the population ages, there tend to be more females than males. Even though the sex ratio in the U.S. is almost one to one, only a little more than half of all females participated in the labor force in 2018.
