hello! an outsider here with a few questions about job creation and retention of data centers.

how many jobs do data centers actually create? I know there’s a good amount for construction, and some non-specialized maintenance work, but as far as I understand there’s like 50 (for a medium-large sized DC) long-term jobs created (but highly specialized). Is this accurate?

there’s a couple data centers being built near me soon so I want to know what it’ll actually do for our local economy.
