However, it seems they are keeping numbers pretty low for now and at least in Oregon, the employment numbers have remained very stable. The China fab is going to be an interesting test case for how well Intel will do in such a different environment (Israel and Ireland seem to have worked quite well for the company).

Lays off thousands, to look good on paper, then quetly builds up it worker base with contract labor, in order to circumvent its labor agreements with local county and city government, in order to quality for its tax kickbacks. Then turns around and takes that money and invests it in overseas fabs. I've seen it happed more then a dozen times. Would be quit shocking were someone to do a trend analysis of intel's layoffs over the years. Intel does this every year or two.

The official Intel announcement you quoted above contains the same information as what was shared with us as employees. The sad truth is that we don't know any more than you do :-) Those of us at Intel have been quiet only because there isn’t much to say.
