These are in **construction, installation, and maintenance** for the data centers powering the AI revolution. ## The Data Center Boom Over the past two years, job postings for data center roles have **more than doubled**. Currently, about **6 in every 1,000 US job postings** are data center-related, up from just 2 in 1,000 in June 2023. This surge contrasts with a 12% decline in total US postings and a 6% drop in other tech roles. The **10 largest tech firms** account for 71% of data center postings in 2026. Their hiring footprint is expanding beyond traditional tech hubs into smaller metros like **Columbus, OH; Jackson, MS; and Reno, NV**, where their share of local postings jumped from under 2% in mid-2025 to over 10% today. ## Not Your Typical Tech Jobs Data center roles are as likely to be for **installation and maintenance workers** as for IT professionals. About a quarter of all data center openings are for installation and maintenance, involving tasks like installing cabling, computers, and servers. These jobs often pay less than traditional tech roles, but they offer a **significant premium**: hourly installation workers at data centers earn **42% more** ($10/hour extra) than similar non-data center roles. ## The Geography Shift Data center hiring is concentrated in specific regions where hyperscalers have established footholds, such as **Hermiston, Oregon** (AWS hub), rural areas near Columbus, Jackson, and Reno, and the **Washington, D.C. area** (8% of postings). This is reshaping the geography of tech employment, moving jobs away from Silicon Valley and Seattle. ## What This Means for Job Seekers For those without traditional tech backgrounds, data center roles offer a pathway into the tech industry. Skills in construction, electrical systems, and engineering are in high demand. However, questions remain about the permanence of these jobs once construction is complete. ![Chart showing data center posting surge](https://d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net/hiringlaborg/2026/07/13162431/nat_dc_total_tech_posting_index_waldo-1024x585.png) ![Map of data center hiring concentration](https://d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net/hiringlaborg/2026/07/13162521/msa_dc_posting_share_map-1024x634.png) ![Chart showing tech hiring geography shift](https://d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net/hiringlaborg/2026/07/13162707/msa_top10_tech_share_waldo_sm-1024x585.png) ![Bar chart of data center occupation composition](https://d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net/hiringlaborg/2026/07/13162839/normcat_dc_composition_top_waldo-1024x585.png) ![Scatter plot of tech job growth vs salary](https://d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net/hiringlaborg/2026/07/13162921/tech_salary_growth_scatter_cspsalaries-1024x585.png) ![Bar chart of installation worker wages](https://d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net/hiringlaborg/2026/07/13162958/instmaint_wages_dc_vs_other_waldo-1024x585.png)]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>datacenter</category> <category>aijobs</category> <category>techhiring</category> <category>construction</category> <category>installation</category> <enclosure url="https://d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net/hiringlaborg/2026/07/13163217/Construction_electricianwithhardhatcheckingwiresgetty-scaled.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Nobel Economists and Tech Leaders Warn AI Could Trigger Unprecedented Job Crisis]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/nobel-economists-and-tech-leaders-warn-ai-could-trigger-unprecedented-job-crisis</link> <guid>nobel-economists-and-tech-leaders-warn-ai-could-trigger-unprecedented-job-crisis</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Jul 2026 19:15:37 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Nearly 200 AI researchers and over a dozen Nobel laureates in economics have signed a letter warning that artificial intelligence could cause **unprecedented economic upheaval**. The letter, titled "We Must Act Now," urges policymakers to build guardrails to steer AI toward complementing humans rather than replacing them. **Key signatories** include Nobel economists Paul Krugman and Daron Acemoglu, as well as the head economists of Anthropic and OpenAI. Tech investor Vinod Khosla and former Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo also signed. The letter reflects a growing concern in Silicon Valley that AI could **bifurcate the economy** into a small group of tech leaders and a "permanent underclass" as jobs are automated. However, many economists remain skeptical, noting that predicting technology's labor impact is historically difficult. The letter stops short of a definite forecast but states: "This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame." It highlights both risks like **large-scale job displacement** and opportunities like major gains in living standards.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobdisplacement</category> <category>economics</category> <category>siliconvalley</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <enclosure url="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/6YNMQ63G3ZWCBGMVFB4XXCG7AQ_size-normalized.jpg&w=1440" length="0" type="image/php"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Cisco President Predicts AI Will Create More Jobs Than It Eliminates: Are You Ready?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/cisco-president-predicts-ai-will-create-more-jobs-than-it-eliminates-are-you-ready</link> <guid>cisco-president-predicts-ai-will-create-more-jobs-than-it-eliminates-are-you-ready</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Jul 2026 12:15:31 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[**Cisco Systems Inc.** President **Jeetu Patel** has made a bold prediction: artificial intelligence will likely create more jobs than it eliminates over the next five years. However, he warns that workers who fail to adapt to AI-driven changes could be left behind. ## AI Will Expand Employment, Not Shrink It In a recent post on X, Patel argued that early data supports his view that AI will expand employment opportunities. "I've been saying this for months, and the early data is beginning to support it. Five years from now, I believe AI will create more jobs than it eliminates," he said. Patel emphasized that **automation does not eliminate the need for human contribution**; instead, it often reveals how much more could be accomplished with it. When AI makes one process faster, organizations will need people to solve new constraints and capture additional value. ## The Rise of AI Fluency Patel highlighted that the biggest divide in the future workforce will be between people who can effectively use AI and those who cannot. "AI-fluent people will not be 10% more productive. In some forms of work, they could be 50x or even 100x more effective," he stated. He argued that the assumption society has a fixed amount of work is flawed. When technology lowers costs, companies create new products, enter new markets, and pursue ideas that were previously impossible. "The future will likely have more jobs, but they will not be the same jobs, performed in the same way, by people with the same skills." ## Industry Leaders Echo the Sentiment Patel's views align with other prominent figures. Apollo economist **Torsten Sløk** recently said there is "zero evidence" AI is reducing jobs, noting growth in AI-related roles and demand for workers tied to data centers, semiconductors, and energy. Amazon founder **Jeff Bezos** similarly stated that AI will enhance human capabilities rather than eliminate jobs, arguing the technology will "elevate" workers. ## Key Takeaway The priority should be helping workers develop AI skills rather than attempting to shield them from the technology. As Patel put it, **AI fluency will define the future workforce**.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobs</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>cisco</category> <category>workforce</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.benzinga.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,height=800,fit=crop/files/images/story/2026/07/13/Cisco.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[10 High-Paying Tech Jobs You Can Land Without a Degree]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/10-high-paying-tech-jobs-you-can-land-without-a-degree</link> <guid>10-high-paying-tech-jobs-you-can-land-without-a-degree</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 12 Jul 2026 12:15:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[According to Coding Dojo, career-ready high school graduates can earn up to **$96,000** with the right skills. Thanks to coding bootcamps, accelerated programming courses, and ambitious high-school graduates, you don’t necessarily need a college degree to land a high-paying job in the tech world. This is good news for students whose in-person internships were canceled, or who were frustrated with many universities’ abrupt switch to remote. In a poll taken last month, 34.6% of students weren’t sure if the pandemic affected plans to get a degree, and 3.8% of students actually quit and abandoned plans for a college degree. “For far too many students and their parents, going to the ‘best’ university is their ultimate goal, but career readiness should be the goal,” said Richard Wang, CEO of Coding Dojo. Wang pointed out that there are also too many students who go to college without a specific plan and hope to figure out what they want to do. “The result of this approach can be devastating,” Wang said, with students ending up with thousands of dollars in debt (the student loan bubble is at $1.6 trillion). The students may also have “irrelevant or no degrees at all, because they didn’t know why they were going in the first place,” he said “This stems from students hearing throughout their life that a four-year degree is key to a successful career, but that’s not necessarily true.” With many US workers still unable to return to work, it can be a grim forecast, especially for students who have yet to get a career-possible job and who feel their future is so uncertain, they’ve fallen down into the doomscrolling rabbit hole. Students focused on what they feel is a bleak future may experience “ruminative thinking and panic attacks,” said psychiatrist Pavan Madan, from Community Psychiatry in Davis, CA. The potential for a career-driven, well-paying job without a BS or a BA (or even more advanced degrees) is not only positive news for high-school grads, but for those who are degree-less, already in the workforce, and who might use the opportunity to shift gears into a new position. “One outcome of this shift will be a rise in apprenticeships,” Wang said. “Many large employers are already exploring this option. Workers get paid to learn new skills without incurring student debt, and employers save money on recruitment costs. It’s a win-win. With the apprentice system, businesses can build powerful bases of qualified and effective employees from the ground up. Meanwhile, those employees aren’t burdened with tens of thousands of dollars in debt and can more meaningfully engage with the economy.” ### Top 10 Tech Jobs That Don’t Require a Degree These technology jobs were culled from a list of the top 50 best (overall) jobs across industries for 2020. Job satisfaction was evaluated on a scale of one to five, with five being best. Listed salary is the average annual base pay for zero to one year of experience. 1. **Data Scientist** — Overall ranking: No. 3 | Job satisfaction: 4 | Starting salary: $96,000 | Internships: 90 | Entry-level positions: 577 2. **Front-End Engineer** — Overall ranking: No. 1 | Job satisfaction: 3.9 | Starting salary: $63,500 | Internships: 119 | Entry-level positions: 1,381 3. **Java Developer** — Overall ranking: No. 2 | Job satisfaction: 3.9 | Starting salary: $63,000 | Internships: 62 | Entry-level positions: 288 4. **Data Engineer** — Overall ranking: No. 6 | Job satisfaction: 3.9 | Starting salary: $87,035 | Internships: 256 | Entry-level positions: 1,497 5. **Software Engineer** — Overall ranking: No. 7 | Job satisfaction: 3.6 | Starting salary: $82,000 | Internships: 399 | Entry-level positions: 2,001 6. **Applications Engineer** — Overall ranking: No. 18 | Job satisfaction: 3.7 | Starting salary: $59,230 | Internships: 272 | Entry-level positions: 1,788 7. **Business Analyst** — Overall ranking: No. 26 | Job satisfaction: 3.6 | Starting salary: $58,340 | Internships: 174 | Entry-level positions: 1,764 8. **Systems Engineer** — Overall ranking: No. 27 | Job satisfaction: 3.5 | Starting salary: $67,370 | Internships: 191 | Entry-level positions: 1,381 9. **Software Developer** — Overall ranking: No. 32 | Job satisfaction: 3.5 | Starting salary: $66,800 | Internships: 198 | Entry-level positions: 871 10. **Cloud Engineer** — Overall ranking: No. 33 | Job satisfaction: 3.6 | Starting salary: $82,780 | Internships: 314 | Entry-level positions: 343 ### Skills Matter More “More and more employers are starting to realize that a degree isn’t what matters, skills are,” Wang said. “Many companies—from startups to marquee employers, such as Apple, Google, IBM and others—no longer require four-year degrees when hiring.”]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>nodegree</category> <category>careerchange</category> <category>skillsoverdegrees</category> <category>highsalary</category> <enclosure url="https://assets.techrepublic.com/uploads/2020/07/goal-plan-action-scaled.jpg?f=jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[From Coding to Construction: Why This Developer Ditched Tech for a 'Baby Blue-Collar' Job]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/from-coding-to-construction-why-this-developer-ditched-tech-for-a-baby-blue-collar-job</link> <guid>from-coding-to-construction-why-this-developer-ditched-tech-for-a-baby-blue-collar-job</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 12:15:38 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The Exodus from Tech Brian Gordon loved coding. But after a decade, the industry stopped loving him back. When his company shut down in March, he faced a brutal job market for programmers—ghosted applications, grueling assessments, and the looming threat of AI replacing his skills. Instead of fighting for a shrinking pool of tech jobs, he decided to **leave software development for good**. ## The Blue-Collar Pivot Gordon explored roles like electrician, plumber, and CNC machinist, but worried about physical toll. He found his sweet spot in **civil site design**—a role he calls "baby blue-collar." It involves 90% office work using **AutoCAD** (which he learned in high school) and 10% outdoor site visits. The job offers stability: his manager said the field is understaffed, and AI isn't advanced enough to threaten these roles yet. ## The Trade-Offs Gordon took a **30% pay cut** and traded remote work for five days in the office. But he gained something priceless: **job security**. "People keep telling me: 'You're not losing your job to AI, you're losing your job to someone who uses AI.' I don't want to be in a field where those are the choices," he says. ## The Verdict Would Gordon ever go back to tech? "Absolutely not," he laughs. His story is a powerful reminder that **blue-collar careers** offer stability, hands-on work, and a future less threatened by automation. ![Land surveyor equipment](https://i.insider.com/6a51494edaf4d560957bf5e7?width=600&format=jpeg&auto=webp) *Land surveyor equipment at a construction site.
