Government plays a much smaller role in the Alaska economy, and resources a much larger role. Overall the share of government is around 17%, more than 10% less than the NWT’s. Oil is the major player in the Alaska economy, accounting for a whopping 38%. Renewable resources also play a far more significant role in the Alaska economy – largely the result of the marine fishery and forestry.
