On Wednesday morning, Governor Sean Parnell announced the amount of this year’s Permanent Fund Dividend. Around 2,000 people watched the internet stream of the announcement. Anticipation was for a significant increase in the amount of the dividend, since this year excludes 2008 from the five-year rolling average. After a few minutes of good-natured teasing with the media gathered for the announcement, Governor Parnell said that this year’s dividend will be $1,884.

Payment of this year’s PFD will begin on October 2nd.
