Nobody wants these jobs anymore.
Imagine you're running a diamond mining operation. Your workers can dig 'X '#$ per hour. You like to talk all day and make your workers sit through meetings half the normal workday. The only time they have a few hours here and there to dig for diamonds is on nights and weekends here and there for a few hours broken up by their personal commitments. That is the current American work culture.
"worker shortage" = 'what do you mean slave labor is illegal in this country!?'
This article explains well the story. TSMC is interested to save money by bringing overseas workers then keep on schedule

Why sweat at TSMC when you can WFH at Intel?
tsmc opens sweatshop figuratively and literally in arizona

Americans don’t want to work 16 hour days 6 days a week or mediocre pay. What flys in Taiwan not flying here.
@vtx haha true
If they pay me, I’ll jump ship for new opportunities.
There is no shortage, just a shortage of cheap/slave labor. TSMC are cheapskates.
what is said in public and what is really happening are usually 2 different things in the united states of propaganda
