(WBAY) Many U.S. cities are paying remote workers to relocate, offering different incentive packages, such as cash and tax credits, as the concept of remote work becomes more widespread.

Due to COVID-19, remote work exploded over the past year and many cities are recruiting workers willing to relocate from high-priced and overcrowded neighborhoods. MakeMyMove is a free, online marketplace, aiming to connect employees with offers across the country.

Now, many companies are making remote work permanent, giving people more choice in where they live, with many wanting to relocate to a quiet neighborhood or less expensive, suburban, or rural areas.

The website launched in December 2020 and has taken off with 38 cities currently listed on the website. New cities are being added every week.  Financial incentives are being offered up to $20,000.

All of the company’s co-founders came from Angie’s List and have an ample amount of experience building marketplaces.  They will make the connection in these communities for you, so people can easily adjust to their new home.

MakeMyMove is working on partnering with Oshkosh and Appleton, to attract remote workers, but is still in the works.
