Oh look, rational tax and regulatory policies after years and years of bullshit clearing the way for high paying, high tech jobs manufacturing valuable exports.  The plant is expected to indirectly create 10,000 jobs on top of the 3,000 they hire, 80% of Intel's American made product is exported.


New York Times


SAN FRANCISCO — Intel, the world’s largest computer chip manufacturer, will invest $7 billion to finish a factory in Arizona, adding 3,000 jobs, the company’s chief executive said on Wednesday after meeting with President Trump at the White House.  The completion of the factory, which will complement two other Intel semiconductor plants in Chandler, Ariz., had been under consideration for several years.

Standing beside Mr. Trump in the Oval Office, Brian Krzanich, Intel’s chief executive, said the company had decided to proceed now because of “the tax and regulatory policies we see the administration pushing forward.”  Mr. Trump said: “The people of Arizona will be very happy. It’s a lot of jobs.”  

He said Intel called the White House several weeks ago to coordinate the announcement. That outreach illustrates the tightrope that Silicon Valley companies are walking as they deal with a president most of them did not want to see in office. (snip)

Mr. Smith said Mr. Trump had offered Intel no financial incentives to complete the Arizona factory.

The plant was conceived in 2011. President Barack Obama visited the site in 2012, when construction had just begun, and he praised the plant as an example of “an America where we build stuff and make stuff and sell stuff all over the world.”

But it was mothballed in 2014 after sales of personal computers — and the Intel chips that go into them — started to slide. Intel restructured its business and announced last year that it was laying off 12,000 people, including 560 in Chandler. The company now employs about 50,000 people in the United States and 106,000 worldwide.

I'd have paid Obama to stay away from the 2012 groundbreaking, he's the definition of a Shit Midas.  In a speech he gave at the groundbreaking, Obama said the plant was an argument for more government incentives (concentrate the power, skim off the top, kiss the ring).

What tax and an regulation policies were changed? Because none were changed. If you think a company will invest 7 billion based on "promises" that gov will change something, I got some prime swamp land to sell ya.  

This is nothing more than a PR stunt.  Intel finally has next generation chip set and need additional manufacturing capacity so they are resuming the plant construction they wanted since 2011 but halted on weak PC demand.

Also, chipset production is all fully automated in cleanrooms  so you can forget about those 3,000 jobs being high tech, high paying jobs. Will be small contingency of QEs with bulk being low paid warehouse workers and Hilo operators.  That's why it's $2.3 million per job.

Ugh, that's regrettable.  There sure are a lot of companies that decided to go with the social justice flow who need a come to Jesus.  There are some true believers, but when the surviving Democrats get creamed in the midterms you'll see a lot of these that recently went lefty full retard start waving the American flag and hiring Toby Keith to do patriotic commercials on Rush Limbaugh.

I work in the industry and you are very wrong.  Most of the jobs will be in engineering and technicians to maintain the equipment and robotics.  It's kind of a big deal to make leading edge semiconductors.

Hell for the sake of the argument I will even agree with you on and can even says all of them will be engineering and technical jobs....that still leaves no manufacturing jobs created for the blue collar working class.  Those with meaningful college education, specially technically degrees have no problem finding jobs as is.

If one wants to make a real difference in way things work in our country, it's imperative that one doesn't fall for the smoke and mirrors. I don't care if Obama admin does it or Trump admin does it.  This is announcement is a great example of smoke and mirrors. It boasts the opening a new manufacturing plant costing billions of dollars giving the illusion it will be huge magnet for manufacturing jobs and it only happened thanks to change of federal regulations policies (which didn't change and the planned plant was only put on hold in 2014 due to reduced demand for PCS). It goes great with the MAGA narrative but what it won't tell you he average reader is that blue collar working class is still left in the dust. This project will only create jobs at the extreme of the spectrum and that is educated white collar workers in technical field and then low paid blue collar workers that just deal with moving raw material and finish product around. The high paid blue collar jobs have been taken up by robots.

Yes it is turning wrenches,

In much the same way a surgeon is a person who operates a knife.

I've done a lot of industrial controls.
the minimum qualifications you listed,
Good for around 75k to start.

Can make up to 250k a year

I didn't mean it as a slight, I have a lot of respect for the work they do and it pays well.  I'm just saying there are a lot of people working in the fab doing routine maintenance like replacing quartz kits and cleaning process chambers that isn't dependant on college degrees but still requires very skilled workers turning wrenches and I think it would still be considered blue collar work.

I can tell that you've never set foot in any fab on the Chandler campus. Or even walked thru the laaaarge parking lots.
Just the number of pipefitters & plumbers it takes to do routine maintenance/upgrades in the place is impressive. You could easily classify those trades as "wrench turners" if you like. And the electricians, the millwrights, the carpenters, etc.
Not to even mention the huge economic impact the construction creates. And, construction on an Intel property is really, something else. Fab 42 had 7000 or so building trades hands on site at it's peak.
The dollars pumped into the Arizona economy thru building and running a Fab is enormous.
