Methodology
Occupations are the fixed set named in the series, kept only when both the Alaska median and the U.S. median are published. A 75th percentile or an employment count that is unpublished stays blank in the table. The article is omitted when fewer than 3 occupations qualify. OEWS May 2025. A comparison of 1.00 matches the U.S. median. Sorted by the Physical Therapists state median when that occupation qualifies, otherwise by the highest median in the table. Alaska is 2 of 51. A row links to the Alaska metro page with the highest public market difficulty score for that occupation when one is published, and otherwise to the occupation page on the hiring grid. An unpublished percentile or employment count is shown as unpublished rather than replaced with a zero. The wages are annual OEWS figures. They are not job listings and they are not an employer's current offer. Read the comparison beside the dollar figures: a high state wage can still sit under the national median for that occupation, and a lower state wage can still sit above it. Rounded figures in the prose: $115,280 is stated as about $115.3K. $102,760 is stated as about $102.8K. a comparison of 1.12 is stated as 12 percent. $129,760 is stated as about $129.8K. $102,670 is stated as about $102.7K. a comparison of 1.05 is stated as 5 percent. $97,870 is stated as about $97.9K.
