GOOD POINT.  
Recently a UAA/ISER full professor put out a study showing that poverty in Alaska occurs in isolated villages. In those cold. dark, windy places, there are no jobs available in the money economy.  PEOPLE DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY.  THEY LIVE MAINLY ON TRANSFER PAYMENTS. So, therefore, for natives to end living in Alaskan poverty status, they need to move to the cities and get jobs.  DUH!  
This new "brilliant" UAA/ISER study about the change in the number of Alaskan jobs is also crap.  The author merely has tabulated AK Department of Labor reports about the number of jobs.  The existing UAA/ISER budget does need to be cut.
