I imagine fishing, oil and gas, and Alaska's (edit) $2,000 stipend for residents is what keeps them there.

Are you referring to the Alaska Permanent Fund?

If so, it's not a $2,000 stipend and it's only been $2,000 once since it's inception.

Or is there another stipend you're referring to?

Given Alaska's high cost of living, that $2k doesn't make much of a dent.
