Not only would I suspect that an aluminum plant employs far more people, it is an attainable job. Presumably minimal qualifications for some menial tasks, whereas you might need a certain level of education/training to get a more prestigious and out of reach job at a datacenter.
Easier for a politician to latch onto manufacturing jobs.
- squigz 9mo agoI'm pretty sure both the plant and the DC have both "menial" jobs and highly-skilled jobs. You don't just chuck ore into a furnace and wait for a few seconds in reality.
- 3eb7988a1663 9mo agoNo doubt there is exquisite engineering and process control expertise required to operate an aluminum plant. However, I imagine there is extensive need for people to "man the bellows", move this X tons from here to there, etc that require only minimal training and a clean drug test. An army of labor vs a handful of nerds to swap failed hard drives.
