According to estimates by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA)The demand for engineers in US semiconductor factories will grow by 20% in five years.This will face more pressure on the US chip industry, which is already short of talent.

According to the data released by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on March 10th,The employment of semiconductors and related electronic components in the United States reached 394300 in February 2023, the highest since March 2009, but still 44.8 per cent (320200) less than the 714500 in January 2001 (the highest since 1985).

According to a report in the New York Times on January 1 this year, the talent shortage may affect investment in the chip industry, as the number of engineers required to take charge of the factory process far exceeds the total number of graduates from relevant departments in US universities.

Micron Technology (Micron) has announced a $100 billion investment in a semiconductor manufacturing park on the outskirts of Syracuse, New York, with plans to start construction in 2024 and complete construction in 2045, which is expected to employ 9000 people.

April Arnzen, head of human resources at Micron, saidRecruiting 9000 people will be a daunting task.

Recruiting 9000 people will be a daunting task.

To assist Micron, Syracuse University (Syracuse University) plans to increase the number of university and graduate engineering courses by 50 per cent within three to five years.

Us Commerce Secretary Raimundo (Gina Raimondo) also pointed out in his speech at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last November thatThe United States must not lose & ldquo; attracts the world's best scientific talent & rdquo; advantage, and there is no room for racism or xenophobia on the way to enhance its competitiveness.
