The comparable national unemployment

point to 5.1 percent. The unadjusted national rate typically
falls in September as Alaska's rate rises because of different
seasonal patterns according to Robinson. -

of Health and Social Services (DHSS) is moving ahead with implementation
of CCS Senate Bill 30 passed by the 23rd Alaska State Legislature,
which outlines requirements for DHSS to create a web site providing

the State Medical Board designate such a committee to review
and approve the information for medical accuracy on the Web site

me, it's like doing shots with O. J. - More..
