Intel Prepares Another Round of Layoffs
Intel, a big company that makes computer chips, is cutting more jobs.
They've already cut about 40,000 jobs over two years.
Now, they're cutting more jobs in a part of the company that makes chips for big computers and cloud services.
Intel says this will help them do better in the future.
But it's tough for the people who lose their jobs, especially in Oregon, where Intel is a big employer.
Even with these cuts, Intel will still be the biggest private employer in Oregon.
Intel is preparing another round of layoffs in its Data Center Group (DCG).
The company has already cut about 40,000 jobs globally from 2023 to 2025.
Intel's global employee count dropped from 125,000 to 85,000 in two years.
In Oregon, Intel's workforce has decreased from 23,000 to around 17,000 employees.
The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring to improve efficiency and focus on priority areas.
