The funny thing is I have a friend of the family that has worked 7 years now at the prineville facebook datacenter, and has not had to worry about 2 year lay-offs, he's an electrician, his company in contracted to build/expand the datacenter there, with a full job with benefits that have only increased over time. Because of expansion the 'temporary' construction jobs have turned out to be almost better than the actual jobs that actually work in there.
