During pipeline construction days, a common saying heard in Alaska was:

"Happiness is an Okie headed south with a Texan under each arm!"

Everytime I hear "Texas," I think of the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas."

Good news! Alaska has jobs, and more so than most states. I really have no clue what field has the most jobs available, but you can always count on blue collar work.
I lived in Alaska up until a month ago, and the economy is still pretty strong compared to the lower 48. Got more questions? Message me! (:
