Picky, picky, picky.In Alaska the vast majority of native Alaskans are unemployed. There are no jobs in any of the native villages because there are no businesses. There are no businesses in any of the native villages because there are no roads or services. Electricity is available only through a diesel-powered generator. Most villages don't even have schools much less a medical facility. Teachers are periodically flown into these villages to teach students, and the seriously ill have to be flown out to receive medical care. Even law enforcement has to be flown in to these villages whenever the need arises.
It is rather difficult to find a job when there are no jobs.
I mean, it's their own choice that they didn't move to where there were jobs that they were trained for and schools of the quality of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (in Alexandria, VA) and then work hard enough to get into Harvard and become the CEO of a multi-billion dollar business - right?
