When you think of part-time jobs in Alaska you might think about large expanses of ice and warm winter jackets rather than career opportunities. Despite it being the largest state (more than twice the size of Texas) but the least populated, there are still plenty of part-time opportunities in Alaska. Over 50% of the population in Alaska lives in the Anchorage metropolitan area where the majority of the employment opportunities are. In Alaska (Anchorage and Fairbanks in particular), a number of industries are booming. You can easily find part-time jobs in energy (Alaska makes up for 22% of the nation’s oil production), transportation, outdoor guiding and sporting, and particularly tourism.
