So within the CHIPS & Science Act there was a lot of building out our workforce addressed. The issue is that it isn't a quick fix and it takes a long time to build up the workforce size we need. It is why some of the companies building these manufacturing hubs have had to fly in workers from Taiwan to fill in the gaps.

Also, you have to factor in the cultural issues that TSMC in particular has highlighted to the government that no one factored in. How workers work in Taiwan is dramatically different than the US with the US workers being thought of as soft and weak because of all the demands they put on companies they work for. Bringing in workers on H1 visas for better or worse alleviates most if not all of these issues esp since we do not have the proper pipeline for these workers in place right now.
