Alaska’s Fairbanks payroll data reveal that it is ranked second in Alaska in terms of total non-farm payroll employees in June, with 38,300 employees, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Statistics were compiled from reports from the civilian labor force and unemployment data, both of which heavily relied on household surveys. The data is not seasonally adjusted.
Employment data is gleaned from an establishment survey that measures non-farm employment, hours and earnings by industry. The data is also based on payroll jobs and such factors as where the establishments are located.
