It's not just Samsung who is 'missing workers', Intel's chip factory in Ohio is short of 7,000 people
(The picture comes from the Internet)
Recently, South Korean media reported that Samsung is considering a large-scale recruitment of construction workers for its new wafer fab in Tyler, Texas, with an estimated number of more than 20,000 recruits.
However, it should be pointed out that it seems that Samsung is not the only manufacturer lacking workers. According to foreign media reports, another large wafer foundry has also encountered the problem of "lack of construction workers".
The Associated Press reported that in recent years, the US manufacturing industry has suffered a serious shortage of labor, and Intel's chip factory in Ohio has a huge engineering scale and a manpower requirement of 7,000 people.
Since taking over as Intel's CEO in February 2021, Pat Kissinger has actively promoted the development of Intel's foundry business, planning to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build new fabs in the United States and Europe. Earlier this year, Intel announced the construction of two new chip factories in Ohio, with an initial investment of more than $20 billion.
According to the Associated Press, Intel's Ohio plant is the largest private investment in state history and is expected to begin operations in 2025. At that time, the plant will employ 3,000 employees with an average salary of about $135,000. Before construction can begin, however, 1,000 acres of land will need to be levelled, and about 7,000 construction workers will be required.
The Associated Press reported that Intel said in a statement that it would draw on previous experience building semiconductor factories to ensure there were enough construction workers.
