In the AI Era, Electricians Are in Short Supply, BlackRock Invests $100 Million in Technical Workers
College students are still competing for remote jobs, while skilled electricians earn over $120,000 annually plus additional benefits!
Global asset management giant BlackRock announced a $100 million investment to recruit plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians. Why?
Because the U.S. is facing a “population cliff”: 200,000 electricians are about to retire, but 300,000 are needed to build data centers for Meta and Microsoft.
Data center construction is still accelerating rapidly, and the labor shortage is becoming the most real bottleneck in the AI race. Without participating in construction, even the most advanced AI algorithms are just castles in the air.
Jensen Huang also said very straightforwardly: “Participating in the AI revolution doesn’t require a PhD, just a wrench and willing hands.”
The blue-collar jobs that were once overlooked are becoming scarce and highly valuable again in the AI era.
The “ultimate comeback” of technical workers has arrived!
