美國這個城市，搬來住就獎1萬美元
Vermont will give you $10,000 if you move there and work remotely.
如果你搬去佛蒙特，並且在那裏遠程辦公，那佛蒙特就會給你1萬美元。
If you started fantasizing about living in Vermont last May, when the state passed a new law offering to pay remote workers up to $10,000 to relocate, the time has come to make your maple-syrup-coated dreams a reality.
去年5月，佛蒙特州通過了一條新法律，要給搬家來這遠程辦公的人提供最高1萬美金的酬勞。如果你當時曾幻想搬過去，那麼現在你的機會來了。
Applications opened on January 1.
申請窗口已經在1月1號打開了。
To get a grant, remote workers will need to move to Vermont first–the program offers reimbursements, not money in advance.
要想拿到這筆激勵金，你必須先搬到佛蒙特去——這個項目提供的是回扣，而不是預付金。
For the state, the program is one way to try to address its shrinking population.
對於州本身來說，這個項目是他們爲了應對不斷減少的人口而採取的措施。
“We’re the second-to-smallest state in the nation, and we’re also getting older, so we really need to make sure there’s more of a workforce here,” says Joan Goldstein, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Economic Development, which is running the Remote Worker Grant Program.
佛蒙特經濟發展部的理事Joan Goldstein說：“我們是全美第二小的州，並且人口正在變老，所以我們真的需要確保這裏有更多的工作。”正是他在運營這個遠程工作者激勵金的項目。
The entire state has a population of a little more than 600,000, roughly the size of Louisville, Kentucky.
這整個州的人口只有區區60萬人，差不多僅相當於肯塔基州的路易斯維爾市。
Vermont also recognized that a growing number of Americans work remotely–nearly two-thirds of companies today have remote workers, and one recent survey found that hiring managers think it will continue to become even more common–and that many city dwellers elsewhere are struggling with rent on increasingly overpriced apartments.
佛蒙特發現如今有越來越多的美國人選擇遠程工作——現在有2/3的公司都招收遠程員工，而最近的一項調查還發現招聘經理們認爲這種趨勢會變得越來越平常——並且，其他地方的很多城市居民都在因爲不斷上漲的公寓租金而掙扎求存。
