That’s not even remotely the case. We just don’t have enough people willing to move to rural Alaska.

- throwaway85825 4mo ago...for the given price.
- jameson 4mo agoI'm sure the supply will go up if extra $$$ is paid.
- SXX 4mo agoExcept you'll have to spend way more than $100,000 to incentify US citizen from a city to move there and stay. And they not gonna have the same near slave H1B conditions where changing their job is just impossible.. H1B workers in IT even have an option to find a new visa sponsor, but nobody needs foreign teacher with H1B in California or Texas or basically anywhere else.
- annzabelle 4mo agoI have to wonder if some kind of fly in fly out arrangement like is used for a lot of other jobs in undesirable locations would work. I've got a friend who's a nurse/paramedic in an indigenous community in the australian outback, and he works 6 weeks in the community with a per diem and company house, and then has 6 weeks to travel or live in Brisbane between stints. A school could do quarterly swaps of teachers, so there's a Q1/Q3 teacher and a Q2/Q4 teacher each working 9 weeks at a time.

- QGQBGdeZREunxLe 4mo agoNot sure Alaska with it's threadbare tax regime is going to do that.
- mplanchard 4mo agoI really think y’all are underestimating the reality of living in rural Alaska. I wouldn’t take a job there unless I had literally no other livable options.
