Kimmel said the mayor’s office will also conduct its own research on what she called “brain waste” -- for example, refugees who obtained advanced degrees in their home country but are not working in that field in Anchorage.  

I'd like to know just how many immigrants in Anchorage came here with a degree, much less an advanced degree.  Someone please, i'm dying to know.  

As far as "brain waste" goes, i'm more concerned for those of us who are citizens who find ourselves in similar circumstances.
