West Virginia really wants you to move there. So much so that on Monday, Governor Jim Justice announced the launch of the Ascend WV program, designed to lure remote workers to relocate to the Mountain State. As part of the program, approved applicants who move to West Virginia will receive $12,000, as well as more $1,200 in free outdoor gear rentals for a year.
Thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Americans have gotten used to working from home, and they want to keep doing it. According to a recent survey from FlexJobs, 65% of respondents reported wanting to continue to work remotely once life goes back to normal post-pandemic, and a Gartner survey found that 47% of companies will allow employees to work from home full-time. The freedom to work from home has convinced many people that since they don’t necessarily need to live in the same city as their employer they have some freedom to relocate; a survey from Upwork found that 14 to 23 million Americans are planning to move.
