Construction Workers Are Cashing in on the AI Boom
The rapid AI boom is driving a massive data‑center construction surge, prompting tech giants to pour billions into new facilities. Workers moving into these projects are seeing 25‑30% wage increases, with some supervisors earning over $100,000 and specialists topping $200,000. Employers are adding perks such as heated break tents, free lunches and daily incentive bonuses to attract scarce talent. This occurs amid an estimated 439,000‑person skilled‑labor shortage as Amazon, Google and Microsoft race to expand capacity.
