Get Paid to Move: The US Towns and Cities that’ll Pay You to Relocate

UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – More than 3,500 remote workers and graduates have accepted cash grants up to $15,000 and other benefits to help revitalize shrinking rural economies, officials said.

  • Earlier this month, West Virginia's $12,000 Ascend WV program and Topeka's $15,000 incentive targeted remote workers and graduates.
  • Facing rural population decline, local governments rolled out cash incentives for remote workers and graduates to boost tax revenues, revive real estate markets and spark organic growth.
  • West Virginia's Ascend WV program offers a $12,000 relocation grant, with programs like Indiana's Graduate Retention Bonus providing $5,000 to recent graduates, supported by strict eligibility criteria.
  • Over 3,500 participants have relocated via incentives that include support services, shifting migration toward regional hubs over large cities.
  • Long-Term success depends on strict eligibility criteria and sustained employment, shaping future migration and economic growth in targeted regions.
