Episode notes

Vox correspondent Ronnie Mola has spent a lot of time since the pandemic covering this enormous shift in the way we work remotely. He and his colleague Harry Moagdi recently went to Tulsa, Oklahoma to see what they're doing to recruit remote workers. They are paying people and what else? Well first off there's that 10,000 headline number you know which is a big deal. For these people they're making on average more than a hundred thousand dollars a year while $10,000 is not life or death.

A group in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will pay remote workers $10,000 to move there. Vox’s Rani Molla explains why the city is banking on a digital workforce — and whether the program leaves longtime Tulsans behind.

This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd and Michael Raphael, and hosted by Noel King.
