They went to seek their fortunes. Some as trappers and traders and some during the gold rush. In modern times oil exploration and discovery required the construction of the Trans-Alaskan pipeline to get the oil from the North Slope fields to an ice free port for export. That meant top wages for both manual and skilled labor.
