'Don’t go to India, look to our rural counties’: Utah offering money to companies who hire workers to telecommute

The state is offering money to companies who hire workers to telecommute from rural Utah. The incentives -- as much as $6,000 per full-time job -- are meant to help boost unemployment in rural areas."It’s a great way for the businesses along the Wasatch Front that are having a challenging filling these positions. Things are booming here. The demand is great. Don’t go to India, look to our rural counties," said Rebecca Dilg, the rural and community outreach manager for the Governor's Office of Economic Development.The Utah State Legislature approved spending $1.5 million for the program. Dilg said they were starting to get interest from a few companies."If you can get online, you can have a business anywhere within the state," she said.
