Oregon's Economy Is Collapsing After Intel Slashes 5,000 Jobs

Описание: Intel layoffs aren’t just a company story — they’re an Oregon economy story. In this video, we break down how more than 5,400 job cuts in Oregon are rippling through Washington County, Hillsboro, Beaverton, and the entire Portland metro, threatening everything from tax revenue and school funding to housing, restaurants, contractors, and small businesses that depend on high-wage tech employment.

Intel has been a pillar of Oregon’s “Silicon Forest” since the 1970s. But after years of intensified global semiconductor competition, AI-driven market shifts, and major restructuring, Oregon is now facing what could become the largest private-sector layoff event in state history — and the aftermath may reshape the region for years.

What you’ll learn in this breakdown:

Why Intel’s Oregon job cuts hit harder than most layoffs (high salaries = big tax impact)

How one Intel job can support multiple jobs across the local economy

What these layoffs mean for Oregon income tax revenue, public services, and schools

The housing and real estate fallout in tech-heavy communities like Hillsboro and Beaverton

How the semiconductor industry is changing — and why Oregon’s tech identity is at a turning point

The role of government incentives, tax breaks, and CHIPS-era funding — and the controversy around them

What comes next for skilled engineers, technicians, and the future of advanced manufacturing in Oregon

If you live in Oregon, work in tech or manufacturing, follow the semiconductor industry, or care about what happens when a single employer anchors an entire region — this is the context you need.

👇 Question for you: Do you think Oregon can diversify fast enough to offset Intel’s shrinking footprint — or is the Silicon Forest entering a long decline?
