Intel is building what it claims is the \u201clargest silicon manufacturing location on the planet\u201d in Ohio, and it\u2019s going to need 7,000 workers to construct it, according to a report from the Associated Press<\/em><\/a>. However, a labor shortage affecting the construction industry could make it hard to recruit the workers it needs for the $20 billion job, and competition for workers could slow the pace of homebuilding in the area which is needed to support the growing workforce that Intel\u2019s plant is supposed to attract.<\/p>\n

Intel first announced the Ohio project in January<\/a> of this year and is on track to begin construction in late 2022. Once finished, the 1,000-acre site will house two factories, or fabs, and employ at least 3,000 people. But it has future plans to invest $100 billion into the project, expand the site to 2,000 acres, and eventually build a total of eight fabs, not just two. Actual chip production isn\u2019t expected until 2025.<\/p>\n
