How much do Alaskans earn? So what is a typical annual salary? As of 2008, teachers make $52,141; oil jobs average around $65,000; jobs in retail sales are about $22,000; and government jobs (depending on the position) start around $43,000.
Consider the high-end hourly wages for welders across the country. Welders in the top 10th percentile make the most in Alaska, at $43.83 per hour. Hawaii and North Dakota are not far behind ($39.75 and $39.05, respectively). Top-end welders in these states make $83,000 to $91,000 per year if they work full time (40 hours per week for 52 weeks). The really attractive salaries come after lots of overtime, as in the case of the young worker, Justin Friend, that the WSJ featured.
