Answer 1

Alaska provides oil.

1/3rd of Alaska's jobs are related to oil or gas.

In 1976 Alaska reserved a portion of the revenue to provide a citizen's dividend to residents of Alaska, which continues today. In 2010, a family of 4 receives 22,000 USD from the state. Since 1959, Alaska has in total gained $157 billion (adjusted in today's dollar value).
