How much do maintenance & trades jobs in Alaska pay?

Are any of these maintenance & trades jobs remote or part-time?

Can I do maintenance work part-time after retiring?
Often, yes. Churches, small apartment buildings, schools, community centers and small businesses sometimes need part-time handyman or maintenance help. Some retired tradespeople do small jobs independently. Check whether your state requires a license or registration for the work you plan to do.
Do I need a license for handyman work?
It depends on your state and the type of work. Electrical, plumbing and some HVAC work generally require a license, and some states license general contractors for jobs above a certain size. Requirements vary by state, so check with your state licensing agency.
