KPB EMPLOYMENT

Employment data are acquired from the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (AK DOLWD) as reported by administrative personnel of each business. When administrative headquarters of a business is located in a specific area, all employees of that business are reported as being employed in that area, resulting in skewed employment data.

Government employees include federal, state, borough and local government as well as public school and state university employees. Employees of both Central Peninsula General Hospital in Soldotna and South Peninsula General Hospital in Homer are included in government data because they are managed by the KPB.

The AK DOLWD updates employment data regularly as information trickles in and adjustments are made. Data varies in quarterly reports as corrected reports are received or delinquent reports are filed and included in totals. Self-employed workers, fishers, domestics and unpaid family workers are excluded from these figures due to exemption from certain reporting requirements.
