California remote workers are bringing their high salaries elsewhere It’s more than cash incentives luring these workers away

The economic boost that one high-income earner — and in this case, two — can bring to a small city like Texarkana is making relocation incentive programs more popular than ever for local governments. A city no longer has to offer big tax cuts to lure an entire company to relocate or start its operations in town. Instead, it can outsource the heavy lifting of economic development to a company like MakeMyMove and reap lasting benefits just by making an individual feel welcome.
