IBM Product Manager Jason Mathew at a coworking space in Tulsa, where, the New York City native says, ‘I’ve felt so loved and known here in ways I never have before.’A growing number of cities and towns all over the U.S. are handing out cash grants and other perks aimed at drawing skilled employees of faraway companies to live there and work remotely.
