The semiconductor industry is actively seeking skilled workers amidst a competitive labor market. With the implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act to boost domestic production, the demand for talent is on the rise.
Predictions indicate a potential shortage of up to one million workers in the U.S. economy by 2030, fueled by the growing demand for generative artificial intelligence in various sectors.
By 2030, the U.S. chips industry is expected to face a deficit of 67,000 technicians, computer scientists, and engineers, while the broader U.S. economy could experience a shortage of 1.4 million such professionals, as reported in a 2023 study by the Semiconductor Industry Association.
Furthermore, a study by Deloitte suggests that the talent shortage in the semiconductor industry may worsen due to global economic conditions and ongoing supply chain challenges.
