Data Center Revolution · Ep 147: Why Data Centers Will Rebuild the Middle Class with Greg Genung - Part 1 · 12 May 2026 podcast

Think about all those jobs that were created as a byproduct of that.

In the data center industry, where 4,500 people are going to build a gigawatt, not to mention all the jobs that are created building the factories to build the components that go into that, which will be thousands.

So now 2,500 people to operate it, 1,200 to 1,500 people just to do the break fix.

So you have delivery experts.

People that operate it, people that fix it when it's broken.

Those are the three career fields in this new trade that's emerging called a data center delivery apprentice.

But these data center apprentices are going to be creating a pretty massive impact on the communities you live in.

That's 10,000 jobs for a gigawatt data center.

And I would say, I mean, it's more than 10,000, right?

So you're leaving probably 10,000 behind.

You're creating 10,000 jobs after the data center's done being built.

And guess what?

They're not going to stop building those things unless we consumers stop using technology.

All we have to do is stop using e-commerce.

Does that make sense?

Totally does.

The people that protest technology the hardest are the ones that use it the most.

So they're on social media and using technology to triangulate on their advantages.

And they're trying to control their own market message and narrative and shit.

And they're using technology to do it.
