ABOUT ALASKA
Alaska is the largest state in the nation, twice the size of Texas, but with the lowest population density of the 50 states. More than two-thirds of Alaskans live in Anchorage, Fairbanks and the Matanuska Valley. Residents pay no state sales or income tax and received a 2006 Permanent Fund dividend of $1,107. In 2006, Alaska posted its 19th consecutive year of job growth, fueled by oil, fishing, mining, tourism, air cargo, construction, and military and government spending. Oil continues to be a major driver of the economy, contributing $3.7 billion to state revenues in 2006, almost triple the contribution in 2002, and adding about 1,000 jobs to the economy. As oil prices have risen, the interest in exploratory activity grows. Strategically located within 10 hours flight time of 90% of the industrialized world, Anchorage is the third busiest air cargo hub in the world.
