Study of 1,584 Data Centers Links Them to Modest Local Job Growth
A study of 1,584 data centers revealed that while these facilities generate significant local investment, they only create modest job growth in surrounding areas. Researchers found that between 2000 and 2023, new data centers led to the creation of 1,000 to 1,300 jobs in their counties, primarily in supporting industries rather than within the centers themselves. The jobs typically take a few years to materialize, contributing to skepticism about the immediate benefits of data centers. This skepticism has fueled opposition to data center construction, resulting in delays or cancellations of $156 billion in proposed projects in 2025.
