I don't know about that (although datacenters don't produce that many jobs once
they are up and running) the whole thing about space datacenters isn't that they
are better, just that they are (claimed to be) cheaper/faster to build from
scratch, in large part due to the regulations slowing ground based datacenters.
once the ground based datacenter is built, it's going to have a much longer life
than a satellite, seeing upgrades and new technologies wheeled in that would
require new satellites to deploy.
