Intel Lay-off Tracker
In 2024, the US government awarded $10.86 billion to Intel as part of the CHIPS and Science Act. In exchange, Intel promised to create 10,000 new US jobs.
In August 2025, the Trump administration converted the subsidy to an equity stake in the company, voiding the previous agreement. As a result, Intel is no longer contractually obligated to create jobs for US workers.
If taxpayers give billions of public dollars to a private corporation, we should expect it to strengthen the US economy and hire US workers. Intel owes our communities safe, local, good-paying jobs, not broken promises.
