The Alaska Department of Labor (DOL), in its February Trends publication, analyzed Alaska's "STEM" (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) workforce and found that Alaska will need 8,100 new workers in this category - 2,700 new positions and 5,400 replacements for workers who retire or otherwise leave the workforce - by 2018.
DOL identified STEM occupations in eight broad categories - business and finance; computer and math science; architects; surveyors and cartographers; engineers; social scientists; life and physical scientists; and postsecondary teachers. DOL also included an "All Other" category with a variety of occupations requiring STEM skills.
