Data centers arent big on the job creation front to begin with. Once they are built its basically a security guy for show, and a tech that flies in once a fortnight to deal with the odd, occasional issue.

a floating datacenter would probably have even less jobs, since they probably wont need the security guard to keep the punk kids away anymore.
