Tulsa, Oklahoma, has successfully attracted remote workers to counter its population decline and stimulate the local economy. The Tulsa Remote program, which offers $10,000 to remote workers willing to relocate for at least a year, has led to the recruitment of about 3,300 individuals. Research indicates these workers have saved on housing costs and significantly contributed to the local economy, generating millions in tax revenue for the city and state.
