\u201cDon\u2019t forget the chip plants that are being created\u2014packaging, computer plants, and all of the AI factories being created\u2014hundreds of thousands of jobs are being created as we speak,\u201d Huang said on Fox Business<\/em>last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The billionaire was responding to newfound concerns from Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates about AI\u2019s disruption of the workforce. Gates warned in a letter last week that the technology is being underestimated and could ultimately lead to massive unemployment. Huang, meanwhile, has remained optimistic that AI will create more jobs than it eliminates.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cEverybody\u2019s job changes,\u201d Huang said. \u201cSome jobs will be eliminated. Many new jobs will be created. If you go back and look at history and technology, revolutionary technology comes along, incredible advances come along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huang added that white-collar jobs aren\u2019t going anywhere anytime soon, while predicting a major boom in the skilled trades. The massive infrastructure buildout fueling the AI boom is already driving demand for hundreds of thousands of skilled plumbers, electricians, technicians, and other six-figure earning workers needed to build and maintain the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a large population of skilled labor and people who build things, that make things with their hands, is tremendous for the United States,\u201d the 63-year-old said.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Huang has been bullish on the skilled trades<\/h2>\n

Huang, who has an estimated net worth of $180 billion, has been calling for greater attention to the skilled trades for months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re an electrician, you\u2019re a plumber, a carpenter\u2014we\u2019re going to need hundreds of thousands of them to build all of these factories,\u201d Huang told Channel 4 News<\/em> in the U.K. in September 2025. \u201cThe skilled craft segment of every economy is going to see a boom. You\u2019re going to have to be doubling and doubling and doubling every single year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this past January, Huang added the world is on the cusp of what he calls the \u201clargest infrastructure build-out in human history,\u201d which will create \u201ca lot of jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While Huang often frames that buildout as beneficial for the broader U.S. economy, it is also increasingly critical to Nvidia\u2019s own growth. The company\u2019s chips power the data centers at the heart of the AI boom, and building those facilities requires far more than advanced semiconductors. It takes thousands of skilled workers to get power plants, electrical systems, and cooling infrastructure online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In early August, Nvidia committed up to $105 billion for the credit and commitment for a new OpenAI data center in Piketon, Ohio, which has been billed as one of the world\u2019s largest data centers.<\/p>\n

SB Energy, a SoftBank Group company, is leading the project\u2019s development and is hiring for a range of roles, including skilled positions that pay well above the local average. One power-generation project manager position, for example, lists a salary of $140,000 to $170,000. That\u2019s more than twice the median household income of roughly $55,000 in the area, where the population is fewer than 27,000, according to regional nonprofit OhioSE.<\/p>\n

As Jensen Huang highlights skilled-trade opportunities, a talent gap persists<\/h2>\n

Huang isn\u2019t alone in highlighting the opportunities emerging in the skilled trades.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Earlier this year, Jon Gray, president and chief operating officer at Blackstone, said there is likely to be a \u201chuge boom in blue-collar employment certainly over the next five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Blackstone\u2019s portfolio companies, QTS, operates or is developing more than 75 data centers worldwide. Roughly 10,000 workers were on QTS job sites a year ago. By the end of 2026, that number is expected to quadruple to 40,000\u2014a 300% increase.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBetween the energy, the physical infrastructure, the data centers, the reindustrialization\u2014something very powerful [is] happening,\u201d Gray said.<\/p>\n

But the country faces a major challenge in filling those jobs: There aren\u2019t enough skilled workers to meet the demand.<\/p>\n

An estimated 2.1 million skilled trades jobs could go unfilled nationally by 2030, ranging from the estimated 130,000 additional electrical workers needed by 2030 to the more than 350,000 new auto technicians needed by 2029.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Leaders at BlackRock, Carhartt, Ford Motor Company, and Google recently announced the Alliance for America\u2019s Skilled Trades, a partnership aimed at expanding skilled-trades training across 30 states, with plans to eventually reach workers nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo single company or industry can prepare a country for this opportunity on its own,\u201d the executives, including Ford\u2019s Jim Farley, said in a Fortune<\/em> commentary piece. \u201cHowever, we can help address these challenges and strengthen pathways to opportunity for people and their families \u2013 if we act together.\u201d<\/p>\n
