I used to travel doing optical networking deployments between data centers. Got to see a good 35+ states and even some foreign countries over 4 years or so but also completely burnt out. Telecom is a pretty miserable industry.
Most of the work in/around DCs is contract of some sort. Local structured cabling firms, electricians doing stints of various lengths, security, etc. Some of it good and lucrative, some of it not.
Data center construction is consuming all of the tradespeople who usually do work in homes and causing price spikes for contracting similar to what we are seeing for hardware prices. I’m guessing those workers are doing at least OK for themselves ;)

I want to know what country you live in that you can find domestic tradespeople who will do work to the same standard as datacentres, and do it at domestic prices. ;)
