Alaska relies heavily on federal employees, who constitute a significant portion of the state's workforce. With federal job cuts being a concern due to administrative pressure, experts warn of potential economic devastation. Federal positions outnumber jobs in the oil and gas sector, indicating their critical role in maintaining economic stability. Economists highlight that every federal employee indirectly supports private jobs through their expenditures and the essential services they provide, further interlinking federal work with broader economic health in the state.

Federal employees also support private-sector jobs as they spend their paychecks and through the services they provide that advance oil and mining projects.
