The AI revolution is bottlenecked by electricians ⚡️

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, just rushed a $100 million investment into training electricians and plumbers. The reason? A critical shortage of skilled trades.

⚙️ What’s happening

America is building the largest AI infrastructure in history. But a data center is more than just servers. It’s megawatts of power, miles of cabling, and massive transformers. And somebody has to wire it all up.

Over the next 10 years, 200,000 electricians will retire. Meanwhile, the AI buildout needs at least 300,000 new ones. Surprisingly, Microsoft and Google are now calling this the main roadblock to AI development.

In the US, an electrician's salary is already 25% higher than the national average. And this wage gap is only expected to widen.

And the craziest part? This isn't just a US trend — it's happening all over the world.
