[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don’t think you realize how few people are actually employed at data centers [/quote]

Mostly blue collar workers. Yuck, right?[/quote]

[b]Actually, the people hired to run and maintain the DCs are highly skilled[/b]. Even if they weren’t, the DCs don’t need a lot of workers to function. It’s usually less than 50 per shift. These facilities are mostly lights out.

The construction workers are good for the region but they are not permanent unless we think they will continue to build or renovate DCs on a permanent basis. [/quote]

Yeah, all 5 of them.

I’m in and out of data centers all the time. Take a look at the size of the average data center parking lot. There’s maybe a few dozen parking spaces. Ever been inside one? Two restrooms on opposite sides of the building. A couple muti-use rooms, the office for the engineers, MAYBE a vending machine. The rest is all rack space.  Acres of rack space.

Data centers are almost totally devoid of people. [/quote]
