Vermont is starting a program where they will pay you to move there and work for an out of state company remotely.

To the companies benefit you can pay employees substantively less outside major cities.

Do you need to have the remote job first? If so, the remote salary would probably have already been calibrated. Still interesting though.

I’m not sure. I think they have a set number of grants and you have to come as a new Vermont resident. First come first serve.

I think the idea is to attract folks from major Eastern cities that lust for the country side. It is a gorgeous state....but winter.

Why would you need to subsidize remote workers?

Exactly.

Could they consider the money they save on new office space and feeding and pampering the employees as the subsidization?
