Are Data Centers Worth the Hype?

Ohio’s data center jobs jumped 54% since 2018, but that’s still just under 12,000 people. Critics wonder if all those tax breaks are worth it when other companies promise thousands more jobs.

Is the ripple effect enough to justify the hype? #OhioJobs #DataCenters #EconImpact #TechNews #JobCareer
