A Taiwanese semiconductor company announced the hiring of 250 employees who will build computer chips at its Phoenix manufacturing facility.
Last year, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. announced plans it would build a new facility in north Phoenix.
Its announced plans to invest $3.5 billion in a second U.S. manufacturing site in north Phoenix — its first was in Washington with design centers in San Jose, California, and Austin, Texas — come as concern grows over heavy American reliance on sources in Asia for high-tech components, the Associated Press reported.
