A job at Google, coming to a city near you

Even as Amazon’s plans to build a second headquarters facility in New York City is greeted with protests and political pushback, one of its biggest tech rivals has been quietly investing billions in heartland states that Amazon shunned for its HQ2.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post Wednesday that the search giant is investing more than $13 billion this year in data centers and office facilities for “major expansions in 14 states.”
“These new investments will give us the capacity to hire tens of thousands of employees, and enable the creation of more than 10,000 new construction jobs in Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia,” Pichai wrote. “With this new investment, Google will now have a home in 24 total states, including data centers in 13 communities. 2019 marks the second year in a row we’ll be growing faster outside of the Bay Area than in it.”

Dallas can't handle all this winning.
Suck it, Houston.

I'll just sit here and wait for the Louisiana dot to pop up.

A city near us? I think the closest on the map is about an eight hour drive if Speedy doesn’t catch me.

They've foolishly skipped over the technological trifecta of Arkansas, Louisiana and Alabama.

Read somewhere recently that IT unemployment is under 1% for the Houston market. Granted Google could bring in some folks to Dallas but the pool of talent might be less scarce than it is in Houston.

Please. More Dallas IT openings mean more GTFO of Houston caravans up 45.

You don't want a data center anywhere that is hurricane- susceptible which Houston is.

It’s a data center in Stevenson, on the site of the old TVA Widows Creek Fossil plant.

They broke ground almost a year ago. It's actually north of there in Stevenson.
