U.S. Pours Money Into Chips, but Even Soaring Spending Has Limits

"Purdue University, which built a new semiconductor laboratory, has set a goal of graduating 1,000 engineers each year..."

The New York Times

"As one of the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers based in the U.S., GlobalFoundries strongly supports the efforts to grow U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturing. We recognize that to accomplish this goal, the shortage of semiconductor talent in the U.S. is a critical challenge the nation must address. I am pleased and encouraged to see Purdue University step up to this challenge by introducing a comprehensive set of degrees and credentials that will prepare students for exciting careers in semiconductors. We look forward to partnering with Purdue as these programs ramp up to support microelectronics across the U.S."
