TSMC says the opening of its Arizona chip factory has been delayed due to a shortage of skilled workers. The company says it needs to bring Taiwanese workers to Arizona to get construction back on track. An Arizona union says US jobs are being threatened — and is urging lawmakers to deny the workers’ visas.
Funny how Intel isn’t running into that with their big investments in Arizona and New Mexico, but it looks like they are hitting a more generalized worker shortage with their $20B plant in Ohio.
Maybe that’s the problem, Intel is snapping them all up? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They’re definitely here. We have a couple big campuses in our back yard…
Intel is an American company. TSMC is a Taiwanese company. It’s not surprising that America doesn’t have the personnel to work on proprietary systems manufactured and designed in Taiwan.
