And communities that want an influx of professionals are making an offer that may be too good to refuse for some ‘laptop workers.’ Incentive programs have emerged in states throughout the middle of the U.S. to entice people to take up residency in their towns and cities--and programs in Tulsa and Northwest Arkansas are offering $10,000!
