The Alaska economy continued to lose jobs last month, the fifth straight month of job losses and a clearer sign that a mild recession has gripped the state.

Employers statewide had an estimated 335,000 jobs on their payrolls in September. That's 2,000 fewer than during September of last year, according to new numbers Friday from the Alaska Department of Labor.
