I'll probably get egg on my face for saying this, but I highly doubt anyone in Alaska lives solely on fund distributions. Further, as noted [1], the "dividend had no effect on employment, and increased part-time work by 1.8 percentage points (17 percent)... our results suggest that a universal and permanent cash transfer does not significantly decrease aggregate employment." 1: http://www.nber.org/papers/w24312.pdf http://www.nber.org/papers/w24312.pdf
