Nine places in America that will pay you to move there in 2023

Many Americans moved in 2020 due to job loss or fear of contracting the coronavirus. In 2021, COVID-19 was a less common reason to move, but remote work still dominated. In 2022, this trend continued as Americans fled the country's largest cities to more accessible places. Cities and towns left out of the boom are working to lure such workers and families into their homes, hoping to increase populations and develop economies. Where you can get money just for moving, said the publication Money Talks News.
