A US city has launched an encouraging initiative to persuade people and families to move to and live in a phenomenon that has recently spread to attract "people" and boost economic growth opportunities after many move to large cities that are recovering from economic activity and prosperity.
The initiative, offered by the US city of Tulsa, will offer at least $ 10,000 to those who agree to stay there for at least one year, and the workers will receive money in cash.
The amount offered by the city of Tulsa in the state of Oklahoma in support of rent and subsidies for a full year, according to the Washington Post.
Through this incentive, the city hopes to attract employees who want to live and stay in major cities.
Since the financial crisis that led to the economic recession of the last decade, economically prosperous cities have become more economically dominant.
According to a Brookings Institution report on the quality of economic life, the spread and growth of the IT industry has rewarded mainly developed regions.
The Tulsa program is sponsored by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, which has posted the initiative on its website.
Since the announcement on the site in early November, the organization has received 6,000 requests to relocate to the city.
"The Tulsa remote program is part of a broader strategy to make the city more vibrant and thus stimulate economic development by stimulating and diversifying business," said Ken Levitt, executive director of the Foundation.
According to statistics on the city, the unemployment rate in the city is not more than 3 percent, a rate lower than the average unemployment in the United States of 3.7 percent.
In any event, in order to be admitted to the city transfer program, applicants must be at least 18 years of age and working in a city that allows them to work remotely.
How to distribute the amount is $ 2500 for transportation, a monthly allowance of $ 500 to help cover rental expenses, plus $ 1500 after completion of the city in the first year.
Another incentive is $ 300 per month as additional rental assistance.

Other offers, such as Hamilton, Ohio, offer $ 15,000 to students who have graduated from universities over the last 10 years.
The city of New Haven, Connecticut, provides a $ 10,000 interest-free loan when they own their first home in the city, plus school fees of up to $ 40,000 for children if they continue to go to public schools.
