In the case I personally know of, they brought in offshore workers. It also only generates reasonable numbers of jobs during initial construction.

Also people who need jobs. And that's just the case you personally know of. Maybe people should retrain instead of pining for jobs of the past. And we should support them in the transition as much as possible .

We're gonna need a lot of initial construction though.
