Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will delay production at its new chip plant in Arizona to 2025 due to a shortage of skilled labor, the company’s chairman said on its second quarter earnings call Thursday. The company is working to send trained technicians from Taiwan to train local workers to help accelerate equipment installation.
TSMC Chairman Mark Liu told analysts on an earnings call Thursday that the company does not have enough skilled workers to install advanced equipment at the facility on its initial timeline. The company previously anticipated that it would begin making 5-nanometer chips in 2024.
Liu said the company is working to send trained technicians from Taiwan to train local workers to help accelerate installation.
The U.S. has embarked on a major push to bring semiconductor manufacturing back stateside, including through funding the multi-billion dollar Chips and Science Act to turbocharge development. The pandemic highlighted the significant dependence the U.S. has on countries like Taiwan to develop computer chips, creating a national security risk and giving the U.S. less control over the supply chain.
MacDailyNews Take: Last December, TSMC said it would more than triple its planned investment at its new Arizona plant to $40 billion, among the largest foreign investments in U.S. history. It’s obviously going to take more than just money to get things up and running.

Well, keep the state red and you’ll never get it off the ground…
Idiot.
So, turn the state Blue where criminals released with no bail laws, shootings increase, illegals and druggies shoot up on the streets and use sidewalks in front of businesses like toilets, introduce higher taxes on everyone. over regulation, strict environmental laws closing small businesses, teach LGBT to our children and change their sexual identity at young ages? I could go on, but the point T-Cell, is that what you’re advocating to enlarge the workforce?…
criminals like trump. druggies like trump junior. tax cheats like the trump organizations. regulations on what you read on your doctor’s care, or forcing a private company, like twitter, to carry your message when they don’t want to.
Bob, you and your ilk are so fucking stupid, it is beyond description.
Sorry to say, BLIND BOB you are Democrat FOOL and TOOL.
HYPOCRISY: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform.
Totally CLUELESS to the Biden druggie and yes, everything else you don’t have the mental capacity to understand and fight fair.
You should remember that…
Just go to any city “run” by Democrats to see how smoothly things are taking off.
Yet they are far preferable to MAGA. Or Republicans in general.
Not even CLOSE to accurate GOP Sux
Unless ofc you like stepping over needles, bums, human excrement, being threatened and accosted daily & so on…

Fuck Joe Biden. Fuck libturds
And the “Go Fox yourself” movement!
NO, you SUX voting for yourself over and over. Pitiful LOSER…
Attention Libturds,
Downvoting the post does not make you any smarter, it just proves your stupidity.
Attention everyone, the FAKE downvotes in HIGH numbers are back permeating this thread. The pitiful morons think they are clever and even DUMBER to think we don’t see it or care for false votes…
This article explains the story well. TSMC is interested in saving money by bringing cheap overseas workers.

Americans don’t want to work 16 hour days, 6 days a week for mediocre pay. What flys in Taiwan not flying here.
