Construction of data centers focused on artificial intelligence faces a significant hurdle: a shortage of skilled workers. The U.S. lacks approximately 58,000 individuals required to install fiber-optic cable, which is essential for connecting data centers to the internet.
This shortage specifically affects the installation of fiber-optic cables, a critical component for data connectivity. Without enough technicians, the growth of AI data centers is hindered.
An example is an AT&T technician working on a telephone pole in Covington, Ga., highlighting the ongoing labor demand in this field.
