Did you know that there are towns in America that are offering big bucks to get you to move to their city? But, there's a bit of a catch.

Some states have options, but unfortunately, in Louisiana, there is only one municipality that has money waiting for you to "make the move."

The one city in Louisiana that will pay you to relocate there.

MakeMyMove.com says that the great city of Ruston will pay you to move there, but you have to meet some requirements.

  • Full-time remote employment or are self-employed outside of Ruston
