US think tank proposes to "poach" more than 3,500 workers from TSMC and Samsung
A few days ago, the US think tank CSET estimated the labor demand for chip manufacturing in the United States under the CHIPS Act, and whether labor must be imported from abroad. It is estimated that under the manufacturing incentives of the CHIPS Act, there may be insufficient domestic semiconductor talent in the United States, and at least more than 3,500 experienced and highly skilled foreign workers need to be imported from abroad. Therefore, the think tank recommends that the United States formulate policies to introduce talents from Taiwan and South Korea.
CSET estimates that new U.S. chip manufacturing plants may need to employ about 27,000 workers, spurred by CHIPS Act incentives. There are three possible sources of these workers: first, other industries in the United States; second, American academic institutions; third, overseas talent. Among them, other industries in the United States can meet the needs of certain lower-skilled positions in manufacturing plants, such as inspectors, testers, sorters, etc. But finding high-skilled jobs from other U.S. industries can be difficult and could adversely affect other sensitive industries. And American academic institutions can meet the demand for high-skilled talents in manufacturing plants to a certain extent, but they must undergo a lot of on-the-job training. And about 67% of masters and 48% of semiconductor-related students in the United States are foreign students. As such, for high-skilled occupations, CSET expects a high demand for overseas talent, totaling more than 3,500. "Ideally, many of the 3,500-plus foreign workers will be current employees of leading logic chip makers such as TSMC and Samsung," the think tank said.
I want to see how many U.S. Poachers the DPP government in Taiwan is going to arrest or if they are gonna raid U.S companies offices.
Lets see how much they care about that Island semiconductor industry.
