The chipmaker, which has fallen behind competitors, is slashing 15 percent of its workforce.
In a move likely to raise a few taxpayer eyebrows, Intel said today that it will cut 15 percent of its workforce, or more than 15,000 jobs, as it struggles to rebound from disappointing results. In March, the US government said it would give Intel no less than $8.5 billion to help it rebuild its US chipmaking operations. Intel said that its revenues were down 1 percent year-on-year for the second quarter.
The company will also receive tax credits of up to 25 percent on $100 billion in investments and will be eligible for federal loans of up to $11 billion. The $8.5 billion given to Intel will go toward building plants in Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, and Oregon. Intel said the investments it is making in these chipmaking plants will create over 10,000 company jobs, 20,000 construction jobs, and thousands more roles in supporting industries.
