Nonsense Paul, where in the world do you get your figures?  Reality:  fishing involves 60,000 workers with a payroll of $2.1 billion (2015).  Oil and gas employs about 5300 people with a direct payroll of $885 million, and 'direct and indirect' wages of $3.45 billion. (2014).   These numbers come from McDowell & Assoc., and available through the states website.  

Fishing and other industries will have a hard time filling the states bank account, but are far more important for employment.  There are other possibilities for increasing employment in good local jobs.  We just need to get off the notion that we have no opportunities beyond oil and gas.
