An Overview of MakeMyMove
By MakeMyMove • Apr 10, 2024
Background
Cities and towns across the U.S. are facing unprecedented growth challenges in the form of labor shortages and declining population growth. Every year, states and municipalities spend $70B to grow their economies, but most of these dollars are focused on attracting more employers, not people.
As many as 23 million Americans are expected to move in the coming years as a result of remote work. This is an unprecedented opportunity for communities to benefit from the economic impact remote workers bring while simultaneously growing the workforce and population.
MakeMyMove
MakeMyMove helps communities grow by recruiting new residents who bring a job (and all of its economic value) with them. Our platform enables communities to promote themselves on a national stage to a highly targeted audience, engage with move-ready people on the site, and execute a recruitment process that generates immediate return on investment.
Communities who work with us recruit new households that bring:
New jobs with an average wage over $100K
Incremental, new tax revenue
Incremental, new consumer spending
A new, highly educated workforce
26% of relocated households bring a spouse that will work for a local employer
Over 80% of relocated households have a bachelor’s degree
New population in form of children who attend local schools and seed growth for the future
Average household size of 2.3
Certain and fast ROI
For every dollar invested in our programs by our community partners, an average return of $8 is realized by the end of year one.
ROI is long lasting - over 90% of our movers stay longer than a year in the community where they moved.
