    I would have expected most of them to be in Portland.
    “However, of the 2,630 direct data center employees, 2,205 of them are in Eastern Oregon and, in Morrow County, the hyperscale data centers directly employ more than 10% of the local workforce.”

    I do datacenter work. I’ve only worked or applied for work in the Portland area.

      I would’ve guessed Hillsboro since they have a few big ones, but I guess the hyperscale ones are just that much bigger. I know at least Google and Meta have a big Oregon presence.

        Yup. That’s where the datacenters are. Downtown too tho. They’ve converted some of those old buildings to datacenters. Pittock. Tata.
