Makemymove.com, a website dedicated to the promotion of remote work , announced that in various cities of the country attractive opportunities are being given to inhabit them to those who work under the distance work scheme and have the opportunity to migrate to another city or state in the nation.
Cities that are considered ignored from a population point of view, that have struggled to retain residents, see in the rise of remote work an opportunity to build their local economies and create jobs better paid.
According to the internet portal, 52 US cities want to increase their population and local tax bases and are offering financial incentives for those looking to move based on remote jobs .
The Makemymove.com study found that many cities located in the center of the country compete for this niche of citizens who work remotely and are willing to do what is necessary for workers to reach these cities.
An example of efforts to bring population is Tulsa, Oklahoma, the local government offers workers who want to have a fixed place to live $ 10, 000 cash dollars , plus other benefits including office space and professional resources.
The Tulsa Remote program provides these types of benefits for those who want to live in this Oklahoma city. To obtain the aid, the person who moves must live at least one year in the city.
Another attractive option for those seeking a change of residence because they already have a remote job while putting down roots, it’s Grafton, Illinois, where they are willing to give land to those who want to build houses . Now in Lewisburg, West Virginia, a full-time remote job can give the person $ 12,000 Dollars.
The pandemic allowed millions of Americans to work remotely, which is allowing mobility to occur when it comes to moving. People who work remotely are seeking to migrate from the big cities in order to limit expenses and little by little they are going to places where life is cheaper.
According to a survey corresponding to Upwork’s 2021, remote work is becoming more and more common, so more than 40, 000, 000 from Americans are fully dedicated to remote productive activities in the next five years.
