Some growth for Fairbanks aŌer 1 percent loss in 2013
By ALYSSA SHANKS
S
everal years of relatively stable job growth
in Fairbanks was interrupted in 2013 as the
borough’s employment declined by 1 percent, driven primarily by job losses in construction and federal government. (See exhibits 1 and
2.)
stores, though those businesses are a fairly small
portion of retail employment. General merchandise stores such as Fred Meyer and Walmart make
up nearly 30 percent of the industry, and stability
in these larger stores led to steady employment for
the industry overall in 2013.
With the end of the construction downtown and the addition
of several new businesses, such
as REI, Walgreen’s, and Kay
Jewelers, retail employment in
Fairbanks is expected to hold
steady this year.
The employment outlook
for 2014 is a bit more
promising, with forecasted growth of 0.5 percent,
though it wouldn’t be
quite enough to regain
last year’s losses.
Attrition in utilities
Construction lost ground in 2013
Fairbanks’ construction industry had a difficult
year in 2013, losing 100 jobs despite visible
construction projects around the borough. The
main cause was a switch from mostly vertical
construction — houses and other buildings — to
horizontal construction projects, or the building of roads, highways, and bridges. Horizontal
construction requires more heavy equipment and
fewer workers.
New structures of all types were down significantly from 2012 to 2013, according to the Fairbanks North Star Borough. This led to a decline
in construction jobs, particularly specialty trade
contractors, which include framing, glass and
glazing, roofing, and siding contractors. (See
Exhibit 3.) With no new large housing projects
planned for 2014, employment in vertical construction is expected to remain at the same level
as last year.
Overall, the construction industry is forecasted to
grow somewhat in 2014, as six additional highway
construction projects slated for the Parks Highway
will increase employment in the heavy and civil
engineering piece of the construction industry.
New stores, but few new jobs
Road construction disrupted shopping downtown
last year and put pressure on some of the area’s
JANUARY 2014
Utilities make up approximately 17 percent of the
transportation, warehousing, and utilities sector in
the Fairbanks North Star Borough. While transportation and warehousing have been a source of
stable employment for years, Fairbanks’ power
companies have lost jobs.
This highly automated utilities sector has not undergone major changes, but has steadily lost employees over the last two years through attrition,
or not replacing employees who retire. However,
the job losses through the end of 2013 were large
enough that additional losses in 2014 are unlikely.

Financial sector remains low
Construction Jobs Took a Hit in 2013
Fairbanks North Star Borough, 2000 to 2013
The general slowdown of the Fairbanks
economy in 2013 limited the need for new
jobs in the financial sector. Individuals and
businesses also seem to be sitting on their
money instead of reinvesting, as shown by
a decrease in the value of loans with an increase in account deposits.

The uncertainty during the first of half of
2013 surrounding the possible movement
of the F-16 Squadron from Eielson Air
Force Base may have reduced the number
of military families that might otherwise
have purchased homes during the year.
This uncertainty likely spilled over into
other private industries and reduced investments on a broad scale.
With the F16s remaining in Fairbanks
and no deployments scheduled for this
year, this industry may see an increase in
12

the coming year, but it’s unlikely to be
enough to move the industry average by
much.

Health Care Grows, Social Services Steady
Fairbanks North Star Borough, 2000 to 2013
6,000
Health care still growing
5,000
Health care has grown consistently for decades, gaining 100 jobs in 2013 and forecasted to produce another 100 in 2014.
Hospital employment, which makes up 45
percent of all health care in the borough,
has been stable since 2010 and will likely
continue that trend. (See Exhibit 4.)

3,000
Health Care

The vast majority of the growth has come
from ambulatory, nursing, and residential
care and will continue into 2014 as an aging population increases the demand, especially for nursing and residential care.

The pace of health care’s growth has
slowed with time, however, a trend that
conflicts with the increasing need of an
aging population and makes the industry’s
distant future uncertain. Whether the industry continues to grow after 2014 will depend somewhat
on whether borough residents stay in the area as
they get older.
Social services structure changes
Employment in private social services has been
fairly stable for more than a decade in the Fairbanks area and will continue to be stable into
2014. (See Exhibit 4.)
The makeup of support services jobs has changed,
though, with strong growth in individual and family services, which makes up 34 percent of all
social services, mostly offset by losses in child
day care, vocational rehabilitation, and emergency
relief.
More visitors, but not more jobs
Preliminary counts of borough visitors were up
slightly in 2013, though bed tax receipts for the
third quarter of 2013 were down 11 percent compared to 2012. These numbers seem contradictory,
so it’s likely the additional visitors were mostly
day-visitors or visitors staying with area residents.
There were no other increases elsewhere in the leisure and hospitality industry in 2013.
JANUARY 2014
The 2013-2014 winter closure of the Princess
Hotel will likely reduce employment in 2014, but
it will be a boon to the remaining hotels hosting
aurora borealis-viewing tourists this winter. Additional jobs from expected increased winter and
summer tourism in 2014 would balance employment losses from the closure of the Princess Hotel.
Fewer federal job declines
Federal employment has been declining through
attrition and budget cuts since 2008, and fell by an
additional 200 jobs in 2013. Due to the 400 jobs
lost between 2008 and 2013, losses are likely to
number just 100 in 2014.
When it comes to reducing payroll spending, the
low-hanging fruit has already been plucked — additional declines in federal employment may have
to start coming from layoffs instead of just retirements.
University enrollment inches up
Jobs at the University of Alaska Fairbanks remained stable in 2013 as enrollment increased
slightly. Enrollment had declined each year since
2010 after a long-term upward trajectory, likely an
after-effect of the recent national recession. (See
Exhibit 5.)

With increased enrollment and fairly stable university budgets, employment at the university as
well as state government as a whole is unlikely to
change in Fairbanks in 2014.
Upward Bump for UAF Enrollment

More kids will mean more jobs
9,000
8,000
Public education makes up nearly two-thirds of
all local government employment in the Fairbanks
North Star Borough, and schools will likely need
more jobs this year. Enrollment went up last year,
and fall increases in both employment and enrollment will carry over into 2014.

ineteen-sixty-five registered the greatest
year-to-year workforce gains since
statehood. Backed up by this substantial boost, the
January workforce level topped all comparable months,
in spite of the seasonal employment dip over the last 30
days.
Manufacturing, trade, finance, services, and state
and local government segments reached employment
heights never before recorded for this time of year.
Correlating with this growth, personal income, at an
adjusted annual rate, continued climbing and marked a
64 percent rise since 1958.

Alaska figured in the national military construction
cutback announced recently, with the postponement
of a $15 million program. Several construction bid
invitations issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
have been canceled, with the Air Force taking the
largest losses.
The value of total mineral production during the past
year exceeded the 1964 level, due primarily to natural
gas and crude oil output, as stated by the U.S. Bureau
of Mines. In spite of a striking rise in gas production
over December 1964, the yearly average was down,
while oil production rose steadily but at a slower pace.
Alaska Economic Trends has been published in Alaska since 1961.

NOTE:
Revised formulas and chart, Novermber 18, 2013.
Beginning in January 2009 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court changed the way they report bankruptcy cases. Due to staffing changes the
information is no longer individually entered. They now use the nationwide formatting which does not sort business and non-business categories.
FNSB will research the cases reported in effort to separate the two categories.
*
Beginning First Quarter 2010 bankruptcy records reflect refined research documenting through FNSB Collections Department who
utilizes PACER (Public Access To Court Electronic Records).
^
3rd Quarter 2013 numbers were change to remove count of bankruptcy appeal case and correct a miscount in business cases.

NOTE:
Notices of default indicate the terms of a Deed of Trust or Mortgage have been breached, i.e. delinquency of payments. The
notices need not result in foreclosures because deficiencies can be corrected. There can be multiple notices if a default is corrected but the Deed
of Trust or Mortgage terms are breached again in the future. A single notice can be for more than one parcel. Notices are tabulated by date of
initiation.
^
Current data supersedes previous figures reported. The data presented only reflects the number of notice of defaults that have
been recorded and does not reflect any effect of amendments, modifications or terminations of notice of defaults. Please contact the
Community Research Center for any additional questions.

Alaska Department of Revenue; website: www.pfd.state.ak.us/forms/AnnualReports, 2008-2014.
NOTE:
The Alaska Permanent Fund was established by a constitutional amendment effective February 21, 1977. The amendment stated
that contributions to the fund must consist of at least 25 percent of mineral lease rentals, royalties, royalty sales proceeds, Federal mineral
revenue sharing payments, and bonuses received by the State. Enacted legislation (Ch. 18 SLA1980) has modified this contribution rate to the
Permanent Fund from 25 percent to 50 percent. As a result, any future revenues transferable from Beaufort Sea production and any future lease
sale bonuses will be subject to the 50 percent rate.
*
The figures above ONLY represent PFD applicants who applied for and received the dividend. This is not representative of the
FNSB population as a whole as there are those who do not apply for nor qualify for the PFD.
¹
Military applicants declined in 2010 which affected the results.

NOTE:
These data exclude self-employed workers, fishers, domestics, and unpaid family workers. Government includes employees
of public school systems and the University of Alaska.
-Numbers may not sum due to rounding.
-Beginning January 2001, wage and salary employment estimates were published under a new classification system. The Standard
Industrial Classification system (SIC) has been replaced by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Data prior to
2001 are comparable only at the Total Nonfarm and Government levels.
-As of January 2001, certain federally-recognized tribal entities were moved to Local Government, which created a series break for Total
Government and Local Government. Please see the April 2002 Alaska Economic Trends publication for a detailed explanation.

NOTE:
[1] Because the US Census did not have the self-employment question on the 2010 Census there is no actual data to verify,
however, the US Census ACS Estimates are the next best resource with 6.2% (in 2009), 5.8% (in 2010), 6.3% (in 2011). and 5.4% (in
2012)
Definition of Employment: These are all persons who, during the reference week (the week including the 12th day of the month), (a) did
any work as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid
workers in an enterprise operated by a member of their family, or (b) were not working but who had jobs from which they were
temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute
job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs. Each
employed person is counted only once, even if he or she holds more than one job.
Definition of Unemployment: Included are all persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work,
except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the 4 week-period ending with the
reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work
to be classified as unemployed.

Residential (SFR) abbreviated above. SFR includes condominiums, and townhouses. In some instances, cabins and mobile homes are
viewed as SFR (however, cabins are not necessarily year-round residential units, and mobile homes are not always located on a lot with a
foundation). The mobile home classification is typically considered transient stock (because they can easily be relocated). The by
Structure count was replaced with a "by unit" count beginning February, 2010.

NOTE:
This Cost of Living Index does not measure inflation (price change over time). Because each quarterly report is
a separate comparison of prices at a single point in time, and because both the number and the mix of participants changes
from one quarter to the next, Index data from different quarters cannot be compared. The Index reflects cost
differentials for professional and executive households in the top income quintile. For inflation data contact the US
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) at www.bls.gov.

SOURCE: Community Research Center gasoline price survey and personal communications with Totem Chevron on Gaffney
Road in Fairbanks, Alaska, 2009-2014.
NOTE:
Figures reflect prices at the self-serve pump for unleaded gasoline. Price is a monthly average of full months
business. Only national gasoline retail chain outlets are surveyed.
Factors that may influence the price fluctuations include seasonality in the demand for gasoline, changes in the cost
of crude oil, product supply/demand imbalances, proximity of supply, supply disruptions, competition in the local market,
environmental programs, operating costs, and World oil supply/demand. Recent examples include the natural disaster named
Hurricane Katrina (August 2005) which took out 25% of the US Crude oil production and 15% of the US refinery capacity. Some
major pipelines were impacted by either shutdowns or reduced operating rates. The Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of
Mexico (April 2010). Other factors are political unrest such as the riots in the Middle East including Egypt, and Libya (JanuaryApril 2011). It is known that retail prices are likely to remain elevated as long as some refineries remain shut down and the U.S.
gasoline market continues to stretch supplies to their limit.

NOTE:
Numbers reflect telephone lines in service; multiple lines may be held by a single residence or business. Lines listed as residential
may include small business and residential. GCI entered the FNSB market in June 2001. Calculations: Our preliminary figures for 1998 were
received as a total amount only. A split between Residential and Commercial was made based on 1997 customer percentages. In 2004 ACS
declined participation and the calculated figures used since are based on 2003 customer percentages.

SOURCE: Fairbanks North Star Borough, Air Quality Monitoring Program, website: http://www.fnsb.us/airquality, personal
communications, May 2014.
NOTE:
Monitoring for Fairbanks North Star Borough is required by the Federal Clean Air Act. EPA strengthened the air
quality standards for particle pollution in 2006. FNSB (PM2.5) data is collected from multiple locations within the borough. The
PM-2.5 particulate values are from BAM samplers correlated to a co-located FRM sampler. Additional locations have been added
to the original State Building Air Monitoring Station in recent years. And the average monthly value, is from the location with the
highest particulate value.
PM2.5 Definition: PM stands for particulate matter suspended in air. PM followed by a number refers to all
particles with a certain maximum size (aerodynamic diameter). All smaller particles are included. PM2.5 is particulate matter with
an aerodynamic diameter of up to 2.5 µm, referred to as the fine particle fraction (which per definition includes the ultrafine
particles). U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, website: http://www.epa.gov/pmdesignations.
*
Insufficient data to classify.
Key Facts You Should Know About Particle Pollution
Particles in the air can cause or aggravate a number of health problems and have been linked with illnesses and deaths from
heart or lung diseases.
At highest risk from particle pollution are people with heart or lung disease, older adults (possibly because they may have
undiagnosed heart or lung disease), and children whose lungs are still developing and who are more likely to have asthma and are
more active outdoors.
Particles of concern include both very small, "fine" particles (that can only be seen through an electron microscope) and
somewhat larger "coarse" dust particles. Fine particles have been more clearly linked to the most serious health problems.
