does not require experience, a high school education is enough, and only English is required. This is the recruitment condition offered by TSMC for Taiwanese people to work in the United States.

Some American media used this to ask TSMC why not directly recruit people in the United States? TSMC replied that hiring users need to go to Taiwan for half a year to one year of training. This requirement made many Americans feel quite troublesome, so they lost interest in TSMC's job opportunities.

had no choice but to lower the recruitment threshold, hoping to attract local Taiwanese employees to the United States to produce semiconductor .

In fact, as early as April 2021, Zhang Zhongmou stated in public that since American chip production talents lag behind Taiwan, the United States cannot rely solely on subsidies to make up for the long-term competitive disadvantage of the US chip industry.

, and only one year later, at the Brookings Institution, Zhang Zhongmou reiterated that although the United States has the world's top chip design talents, the United States still lacks chip manufacturing talents.

And in addition to the talent gap, Zhang Zhongmou also admitted that the cost of manufacturing in the United States is prohibitive and bluntly stated that the United States' efforts to increase semiconductor manufacturing are serious waste and futile.

Zhang Zhongmou explained TSMC's construction of factories in the United States as "an urged by the United States" rather than commercial reasons.

How short of people is the US chip industry? If the United States builds 18 to 20 wafer factories and achieves the so-called "return to dominance", the gap in semiconductor talent in the United States may reach as high as 70,000 to 90,000, and most of them are concentrated in the production and manufacturing field.

Also with the same view as Zhang Zhongmou, SK Group Chairman Cui Tae-won .

When a reporter asked him that TSMC and Samsung both planned to build factories in the United States, and whether SK Hynix will follow up, Cui Taiyuan said: In the short term, SK will not build semiconductor factories in the United States. Although the United States is a huge market, there are challenges in human resources and costs. There are many software engineers in the United States, but there are lack of technical engineers used to produce semiconductors.

However, in response to the possible shortage of professional talents, US think tanks have proposed to "poach" Samsung and TSMC. In addition, the United States is also planning to expand high-skill immigration to solve the problem of talent shortage by allowing more high-skilled talents to settle in the United States.
