Department of Labor and Workforce Development Employment Security Results Summary | Details | Questions/Comments    The mission of the Employment Security RDU is to provide labor exchange, employment and training services, and unemployment insurance to Alaskans and Alaskan businesses thereby advancing opportunities for employment and providing economic stability for communities in Alaska. End Result A: More Alaskans with jobs. In FY2009, 54% of Workforce Investment System participants entered employment after exiting the system. End Result B: Economic Stability of Local Purchasing Power. With the passage of Senate Bill 120, which increased the maximum weekly unemployment benefit amount from $248 to $370 for benefit years beginning after 1/1/09, Alaska should see an increase in the percent of lost wages replaced by benefits. Alaska meets the United States Department of Labor target of 50% of unemployed workers being eligible for Unemployment Insurance benefits. < Return to Agency list Current as of Nov 19 2009 13:54:30
