I didn't want to give my sister this satisfaction, but here we go. She moved to Tulsa in April, and it feels like every time we talk, she tries to convince me to become a Tulsa Remoter. Though she, herself, is not a remoter, she may be onto something.
Though she, herself, is not a remoter, she may be onto something. Between its launch in 2018 and its 2024 impact report, Tulsa Remote's 3,475 participants generated $622 million in direct employment income, and the workers' relatively high salaries are a boon to the city's tax revenue. It's been a successful program for revitalizing the city: every dollar spent on remote workers brings $4 to current residents, and around 70% of remoters have remained in Tulsa after their initial year.
