Show Notes
Kansas Citys Northland is experiencing a data center construction boom, attracting billions in investments from tech giants like Meta and Google. This surge has led to a significant increase in local construction jobs, with union workers earning over $100,000 annually. Unions are expanding apprenticeship programs to meet the high demand, creating long-term careers in the trades. While construction jobs are temporary, the backlog of projects ensures steady work. In contrast to the slow national job market, this local boom stands out, offering blue-collar security in an AI-driven world.
