Subway to recruit for more than 10 Mat-Su jobs at Wasilla job center Wednesday

Subway will recruit for more than 10 jobs at its Mat-Su stores from 1 to 4 pm Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Mat-Su Job Center in Wasilla, the state labor department said in a Nov. 13 bulletin.

Openings include restaurant manager, assistant manager, shift manager and sandwich artist. The state event flyer lists 10 openings.

Job seekers can meet the employer, ask questions and may get an on-site interview. The department tells them to bring a resume or application. The job center is at 877 West Commercial Drive in Wasilla.

The notice says the jobs offer flexible hours, competitive salaries, benefits, family-friendly policies, employee meals and company-sponsored activities. It gives no pay figure.

The free, public event is part of the job center's monthly Employer Spotlight series, which features different businesses or industry representatives. The center also hosts other regular recruiting. The Alaska Department of Corrections holds correctional-officer sessions every Friday from 3 to 4 pm, and the Municipality of Anchorage recruits there on the last Friday of each month.

The department's 2026 forecast projected the Matanuska-Susitna Borough would add about 400 jobs this year, a 1.3% growth rate. The department forecast 0.9% growth statewide. It said Mat-Su employment had grown almost without a break for decades and that the borough lost about 0.7% of its jobs in the 2020 pandemic recession.

The Anchorage/Mat-Su region's unemployment rate was 3.2% in August, down from 3.4% a year earlier.
