To create 2,300 construction jobs, 2,000 permanent jobs (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - New York, 08 May - US president Joe Biden is visiting Wisconsin today to announce plans by Microsoft Corp to invest 3.3 billion dollars to build a new artificial intelligence data centre, the White House said.

The Microsoft facility will create 2,300 union construction jobs and 2,000 permanent jobs over time, it said in a statement.

Microsoft will also provide skilling opportunities for thousands more Wisconsinites in the digital economy.

The datacenter will be built on the same land as a failed 10 billion dollar investment from Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn six years ago.
