Metavesco Launches Epic Labor AI to Tackle Data Center Workforce Crisis

Metavesco Inc. (OTC: MVCO) has launched Epic Labor AI, a specialized recruiting division of its subsidiary Epic Labor, Inc., to address the critical labor shortage in AI data center construction. The new division will focus exclusively on recruiting skilled tradespeople and technical personnel for the nationwide buildout of data centers needed to support artificial intelligence computing demands. According to industry data, the United States faces a massive workforce gap, needing approximately 300,000 new electricians over the next decade while 200,000 current electricians are expected to retire, with demand for HVAC engineers surging 67% since late 2022. Epic Labor AI will recruit across two key categories: construction trades including electricians, HVAC specialists, pipefitters, and welders, and technical personnel such as GPU deployment technicians, fiber optic technicians, and data center operations specialists.

The launch comes amid what industry leaders describe as the largest infrastructure buildout in modern history, with hyperscale technology companies committing hundreds of billions to new data center construction. CEO Ryan Schadel emphasized that "the AI revolution requires a massive physical foundation, and right now America does not have enough skilled workers to build it." The division will leverage AI-powered recruiting tools for candidate sourcing and matching, operating on a recruiting and placement fee model distinct from Epic Labor's traditional temporary staffing operations. Electrical work alone accounts for 45% to 70% of total data center construction costs, with single hyperscale facilities requiring 50-100 electricians simultaneously and peak construction crews exceeding 1,500 workers across all trades.

Epic Labor AI represents an extension of Metavesco's AI-native operating model and will initially target high-concentration markets including Northern Virginia, Texas, Iowa, Ohio, and Georgia. The division expects to generate revenue through direct-hire placement fees and contract-to-hire arrangements with general contractors, data center developers, hyperscale operators, and subcontractors. This strategic move positions Metavesco to capitalize on what Schadel calls "the most acute labor shortage in the market today," combining over 50 years of trades placement experience with modern AI tools to bridge the critical workforce gap in AI infrastructure development.
