Although the recent North Slope oil discoveries are tantalizing, I'm afraid we're still screwed ... Economists say recession will last three more years, followed by a smaller, poorer Alaska adn.com Author: Charles Wohlforth - Published January 20 The projections show job losses bottoming out in 2018 to 2020, but no bounce-back through 2026. Population predictions are uncertain because they contain more unknowns than job numbers, but Northern Economics projects decline continuing for at least a decade, with net loss of more than 30,000 residents. Alaska's gross state product, the total value of all the goods and services we produce, has declined for five years and is down 22 percent due to lower oil prices and production.
