The oil and gas industry is vital to Alaska. In addition to thousands of well-paying jobs and billions in state revenue for the PFD and essential services, the industry contributes significantly to social and educational programs throughout the state each year.
“The oil and gas industry has the highest economic multiplier in Alaska. For each Primary Company job, the oil and gas industry supports 14 additional jobs elsewhere in Alaska.”
– McKinley Research Group, The Economic Impacts of the Oil and Gas Industry in Alaska, August 2025
