- The article highlights how the AI boom is creating massive demand for tradespeople, not just software talent.
- The hiring push reflects the buildout of physical infrastructure behind AI: data centers, power systems, and related construction work.
- In other words, the bottleneck is increasingly becoming real-world labor and facilities, not only chips and models.
