So, being somewhat of a financial and economic ‘groupie’ (for lack of a better word), I come across articles in the financial world of companies that are expanding and hiring, or just outright hiring. So I figured I’d post them here as I find them. Feel free to add stuff you come across with as well. The posts most likely will not have all the info to apply for a job, but at least it will give you an idea of where to start looking. And some may not be immediate, but that may give you time to prepare. Hope this helps you all, Michelle

Micron plans $100B computer chip factory in New York – https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/micron-plans-100b-computer-chip-factory-new-york
Micron Technology announced plans Tuesday to invest up to $100 billion over the next few decades to build a massive semiconductor factory in central New York state, saying the “megafab” will be the largest computer chip fabrication facility in the U.S.
The world’s fourth-largest semiconductor maker said in a press release that it will break ground on the new project in Clay, New York, near Syracuse, starting next year. The Boise, Idaho-based company expects to spend $20 billion by the end of this decade in the initial phase of development. Micron said upon completion, the site could be as large as 40 U.S. football fields and will amount to the largest private investment in New York state history.
This notice, and the IBM notice, are MAJOR. I think folks in electronics-related businesses are finally waking up to how vulnerable we are with so much chip production being offshore. We really need a better balance.
