The Megafactories Are Coming. Will the Workers Show Up?

By John Keilman | Photos by Maddie McGarvey for The Wall Street Journal COLUMBUS, Ohio—Enormous factories are sprouting outside of this capital city. Now comes the hard part—finding people to work in them.Manufacturing jobs are tough to fill around Columbus, which has one of Ohio’s lowest unemployment rates and a flourishing logistics industry that competes for the same employees. The region’s plants have thousands of open positions, a shortage that is causing some managers to join their workers on the production line.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Nvidia’s Rivals Prepare Their AI Assault

Nvidia was never going to have the artificial intelligence market all to itself. The past year has certainly made it seem that way, though. Nvidia’s sales have more than doubled—and its market value more than tripled—as major tech companies snapped up the company’s chips to capitalize on the explosive interest in generative AI sparked by the launch of the ChatGPT online chatbot a year ago. Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, two of Nvidia’s largest competitors, have seen their data-center sales shrink lately as the tech giants operating those networks have redirected their spending toward Nvidia’s specialized chip platforms. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Intel in Lead to Get Billions for Secure Defense-Chip Facilities

Intel is the leading candidate to potentially receive billions of dollars in government funding for secure facilities producing microchips for U.S. military and intelligence applications.The facilities—which have yet to be disclosed publicly—would be explicitly designated as a “secure enclave,” according to people familiar with the development. The goal is to reduce the U.S. military’s dependence on chips imported from East Asia, particularly Taiwan, which some say is vulnerable to Chinese invasion.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
