Apple and Facebook are both establishing datacenters in Denmark. For the Facebook one they estimate 1.200 jobs building it, and 1.000 new jobs both working there and around the datacenter.

I think they are going to be very disappointed if that is the amount of jobs they expect.

There is some interesting information from Facebooks datacenter in Oregon from 2011 here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/prineville-data-center/press-...

> Over the course of the project, more than 1,300 people have worked on the site – an average of 250 workers a day. When completed, Facebook has committed to hire 35 full-time employees to run and maintain the data center.

As per the 1k jobs, sometimes those numbers are calculated based on how many new jobs can the local government (directly or not) create with the tax surplus they'll be getting from the new business coming into town.
