This list is published in the Trends 100 article on pages 5-6. Footnotes: 1/ When two or more employers had the same number of employees, they were ranked by unrounded employment. 2/ These are ranges that a company’s or organization’s specific employment number falls into: the ranking is based on the specific employment number. 3/ This count excludes approximately 293 of ANTHC’s federal employees. 4/ This count excludes approximately 130 of Southcentral Foundation’s federal employees.
Why employment is in ranges: Trends 100, the list of companies and organizations in Alaska with the highest average monthly employment, was first published as the top 50 employers in Trends’ July 1987 issue. Since then, confidentiality restrictions have tightened, and it’s prohibited to release a firm’s actual employment numbers without consent. Because of the time it would take to obtain each company’s permission, the Trends 100 gives a range for each company’s employment rather than a specific number. However, the ranking system is still based on the specific unpublished employment number.
