- mmmBacon 3y agoYes you need personnel but not very many. Local governments that give these tax incentives for data centers often think the presence of a data center is going to lead to a lot of high tech jobs. This is simply not true. If you’ve ever walked around a data hall in a big data center, it’s an amazingly creepy and lonely place. The first time I visited a huge data center in Altoona Iowa I was shocked at how few people there were.
