Anchorage Classified
Labor Surplus Area
Anchorage has been classified
as a smaller labor surplus area
by the Bureau of Employment
Security of the U. S. Department
of Labor, according to informa
tion received by M. E. Weir, di
rector of the Alaska Employment
Security Commission. The area
50 named includes the adjacent
communities immediately sur
rounding the city and is specifi
cally defined as the Anchorage
census district less the Eklutna,
Sirdwood, Kasilof, Kenai, Port
age, Skwentna and Tyonek areas.
When a city receives such a
iesignation as an area of labor
>urplus, business firms in that
area become eligible for prefer
ential treatment in bidding on
government procurement con
tracts.
Labor market information nec
essary to establish such a classifi
cation was recently submitted by
the Alaska ESC.
