Job One of the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act: Closing the Digital Divide

Business and Tech

The United States is taking bold steps to reinvigorate its economy through game-changing investments in high-tech research and manufacturing. For example, engineers invented the semiconductor in the United States, but the nation produces about 10% of the world’s supply today. For more than 50 years, U.S.
