Google <\/a> today announced<\/a> that it will invest $13 billion in data centers and offices across the U.S. in 2019. That\u2019s up from $9 billion in investments<\/a> last year. Many of these investments will go to states like Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia, where Google plans new or expanded data centers. Though like most years, it\u2019ll also continue to expand many of its existing offices in Seattle, Chicago and New York, as well as in its home state of California.<\/p>\n

Given Google\u2019s push for more cloud customers, it\u2019s also interesting to see that the company continues to expand its data center presence across the country. Google will soon open its first data centers in Nevada, Nebraska, Ohio and Texas, for example, and it will expand its Oklahoma, South Carolina and Virginia data centers. Google clearly isn\u2019t slowing down in its race to compete with AWS and Azure.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThese 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,\u201d Google CEO Sundar Pichai writes today. \u201cWith 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\u2019ll be growing faster outside of the Bay Area than in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given the current backlash against many tech companies and automation in general, it\u2019s probably no surprise that Google wants to emphasize the number of jobs it is creating (and especially jobs in Middle America). The construction jobs are obviously temporary, though, and data centers don\u2019t need a lot of employees to operate once they are up and running. Still, Google promises that this will give it the \u201ccapacity to hire tens of thousands of employees.\u201d<\/p>\n
