Alaska is the largest state of the United States of America by area; it is situated in the northwest extremity of the North American continent, with Canada to the east. The capital city, Juneau, is situated on the mainland of the North American continent, but is not connected by road to the rest of the North American highway system. The oil and gas industry dominates the Alaskan economy, with more than 80% of the state's revenues derived from petroleum extraction. Alaska's main export product (excluding oil and natural gas) is seafood, primarily salmon, cod, Pollock and crab. Agricultural production is primarily for consumption within the state and includes nursery stock, dairy products, vegetables, and livestock.
Employment is primarily in government and industries such as natural resource extraction, shipping, and transportation. Military bases are a significant component of the economy in both Fairbanks and Anchorage.
