    The people making good money working “at” these datacenters eat at restaurants thousands of miles away from the towns the datacenters are located. There are very few local datacenters jobs and the ones that are local do not make very good money.

    Big scale high compute datacenters need like 15-30 people to operate, not hundreds.
