Episode notes

Tulsa is offering $10,000 to anyone who moves there for at least a year. The community that you get through being an active member of Tulsa absolutely can be life-changing. 76% of people have stayed since the program began and that began in 2018 so it's got an impressive retention rate.

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.
