Alaska had about 6,700 more jobs last month than a year earlier, with the leisure and hospitality sector leading the way, the state labor department reported Friday.

The transportation, trade and utilities sector had about 1,400 more jobs than the prior year, and there were about 500 more jobs in oil and gas.

Karinne Wiebold, an economist with the department, said recently that Alaska began seeing year-over-year growth in total employment in April 2021, a year after the “initial employment shock” from the pandemic hit.
