178 new jobs, average salary of $74,000. Good to see some non-oilfield jobs in Lafayette.

SchoolMint will be moving its headquarters from San Francisco, as well as offices in Miami and New York, to Lafayette. The move will include a $515,000 capital investment and 178 direct new jobs with an average annual salary of $74,200. The company also is retaining 13 jobs at its existing Lafayette office
“SchoolMint’s mission is helping students, parents, teachers, schools and districts create bright, sustainable futures,” MacDonald said. “We are thrilled about our move to Lafayette and the opportunity to build and expand our workforce in Louisiana, a state that clearly embraces those same values. The vibrant and growing tech culture here is exciting, and we expect to create hundreds of high-tech jobs over the next decade. We look forward to bringing a bit of Silicon Valley to Lafayette, while also deepening the local roots first put down by our Smart Choice division.”

Are these remote jobs that will allow their employees to work anywhere in the world but report their office as Laffy?

Gotta imagine this is a real kick in the nuts for the employees who were hoping the exodus would take them to Austin, Raleigh, or Dallas.

One of these things is not like the other. I predict some workers are in for a rather large culture shock

To secure the project, the State of Louisiana offered SchoolMint a competitive incentive package that includes the services of LED FastStart®, ranked the No. 1 state workforce training program in the U.S. the past 10 years. The incentive package includes a $900,000 Digital Interactive Media and Software Development tax credit on qualifying software development and payroll expenses, as well as a $1 million performance-based grant for corporate relocation expenses. Based upon meeting capital investment and payroll targets, School Mint will be eligible for up to $100,000 a year for 10 years. The company also is expected to utilize Louisiana’s Quality Jobs Program.

Let's hope they include a certain regionally favored men's hairstyle in the relocation orientation helping them get adjusted.

Necessary evil at this point. We don't do it, we'll never attract another business again.

Great for Lafayette but the government should be getting a bigger slice. I trust them to spend it wisely.
Corrected for you. Corporate welfare? The only thing greedier than corporations is government.

I interviewed there recently but wasn’t quite woke enough I guess. Glad to see some diverse jobs coming into town though.

Hope it turns out better for the state than the IBM deal.
