Alaska State Salary Schedule
Most rank-and-file State of Alaska jobs are paid on this schedule: the posting names a range (the job's level) and you're hired at a step — typically A or B — advancing a step with service. Annual figures below are the biweekly schedule rate × 26. Duty stations outside Anchorage add a geographic differential on top of everything in this table.

Annual = biweekly × 26. Steps continue past F (G, then J–Z, skipping H and I) for long service; "top step" is Z. Other bargaining units (supervisory, labor/trades, correctional) have their own schedules — this is the general government (GG) schedule that covers most postings.
