Semiconductor skilled labor
Fab engineer and technician shortage
Leading-edge fabs and packaging plants (TSMC Arizona, Intel, Rapidus) face a structural shortage of process engineers and technicians, a factor in TSMC Arizona's delayed ramp. Human capital is an underweighted constraint on reshoring and capacity expansion.
