    Labor shortage crisis expected to only get worse By Claire Chandler, Alaska Journal of Commerce
    In the carpentry occupation alone, the demand for carpenters statewide is expected to increase by nearly 14 percent, or about 660 new jobs, from 2002 to 2012, according to data compiled by state labor economists.

    On top of the occupation's growth, more than 1,100 carpenters are expected to retire during the same period. Some 180 new carpenters would have to be employed each year between 2002 and 2012 to meet the state's foreseen demand, Cattanach said.
