Job Description

One of the hugest pet peeves I am finding in the 'remote work' world is nobody is willing to hire someone who lives in Alaska. We are one of the most remote states in the US and grasping every ounce of resources we can to survive - And lack of available jobs is one of them. I dont want to move but I dont want to be trapped in a dead-end job - or end up homeless due to lack of work. Pardon my rant. I have searched high and low for 2 years to find remote work. I am a single mom with a mortgage and have already downsized by selling my car. While many folks seamlessly apply to over 400+ jobs in 1 year, I have been lucky to find just 60 that I can actively apply to. I have a degree in and have worked in Supervisor/Director roles and even a Treasurer since I was 21 in my field. Im now 33. I currently own a successful business but am trying to step away to focus on my daughter's medical problems, and remote work is really the only way I can do that without selling my home. The field I work in spends 35 / 40 hours staring at computers and yet it feels impossible to find high-level positions, that allow remote work. Folks who live in my city and scored remote work - had grandfathered in the position before they moved North. So there's no real recommendations I can get from them. And all other positions I find, physically say "not available in Alaska" or have a designated list of States allowed. Rant over. Any suggestions or references would be great.
