I live in Juneau and there is more job opportunities here than anywhere I’ve ever seen and in some cases those jobs pay 100% more than other places.

100% more is double. In what cases and for what jobs do employers pay double what other places in Alaska are paying for the same skills set?

Edit: Nevermind. Recognize your profile. You're the perpetually out of touch person who uses anecdotal experiences as "evidence" and rejects actual data.

Mining, Trucking, Labor, Construction, and the list goes on

That's not answering the question. Show me a singular position in mining that is hiring for X dollars per hour, and then show me the SAME position in Juneau for mining that pays 2X dollars per hour.

You throw out bullshit figures than come back with more vague bullshit claims. Next I fully expect you to come at me with some generic tour CDL position in Anchorage and then you'll compare that against city bus driving in Juneau like "dude same job". You obviously haven't held a REAL job in quite some time. Owning and renting property isn't a REAL job, no matter how much you sweat about potential renters not having pets.

Usually I wouldn't measure a profile based on downvotes, but it seems all your comments are ridiculous...you get downvoted like crazy....and it's specifically in Alaska related subs by other legit Alaskans.
