Addressing the Tech Workforce Gap in the U.S. Semiconductor Industry
The 2022 CHIPS and Science Act has catalyzed a new era of semiconductor manufacturing and research within the United States. However, this growth faces a critical obstacle: a shortage of skilled technicians, computer scientists, and engineers needed to sustain the industry’s expansion.
According to the study "Chipping Away: Assessing and Addressing the Labor Market Gap Facing the U.S. Semiconductor Industry," the semiconductor sector could face a shortfall of 67,000 skilled professionals by 2030, part of a broader talent gap of 1.4 million across the U.S. economy. While the industry is projected to add 115,000 jobs by 2030, a significant portion of these roles risks going unfilled unless educational and training trends improve.
This shortage spans the entire talent pipeline—from technicians with certificates or two-year degrees to engineers with advanced qualifications. Given the foundational role of semiconductors in shaping future technologies, tackling this workforce challenge is essential to ensuring innovation and economic growth.
