About this data
Near-census counts of Alaska jobs and wages straight from unemployment-insurance tax records — the gold standard for borough-level employment and the only reliable wage measure for every borough and industry. Headline series: statewide covered employment (~320k jobs), average weekly wage (~$1,430), and total quarterly payroll (~$6B). Slow (5–6 month lag) but definitive; this is what benchmarks the monthly survey estimates.

02000(statewide) plus each borough/census-area FIPS. Alaska FIPS churn is real — Valdez–Cordova (02261) split into Chugach (02063) and Copper River (02066) in 2019 — so drive the area list from a maintained lookup, and don't fail the run when an old FIPS 404s for a new quarter. - Each area file contains all ownership × industry × aggregation-level rows (statewide file is thousands of rows). Filter by
agglvl_code(statewide all-industry total = own_code 0, industry_code "10"; county totals analogous) rather than assuming row order. Keep industry rows for sector series. - Suppressed cells:
disclosure_code = "N"rows carry zeros in the data fields — treat as missing, not zero, especially in small boroughs where whole sectors are suppressed. - A too-early fetch for an unpublished quarter returns 404 (or an empty/HTML respon
