they're hardly making minimum wage and alot are local, some community colleges even have courses that are pretty much specific to intel fabs (here in oregon and washington anyways), I know a couple of fab techs in Oregon and they pay well, a contractor with little to no experience can make at least $12 and an intel employee (especially those with at least an associates) can make alot more.
i never knew memory used such old manufacturing processes. how long before we get mem sticks build on 200mm/65nm tech? that should give some sweet price reductions
Atleast Intel is re-opening more jobs in the US. Good PR against offshoring with all the AMD suits going on. Still, I wonder how many of these workers in Arizona have fresh greencards and are making minimum wage :(

yes, maybe that would allow for faster flash memory to replace hdds.jonobp1 - Monday, November 7, 2005 - link

Crap, I wasted my cheesy "FIRST POST" rights on an actual comment instead of something stupid. Damn this lack of sleep, damn it to hell.Pannenkoek - Monday, November 7, 2005 - link
You're an adolescent, forced to approach sense and thoughtfulness eventualy. Though you're not yet there.
