2025Reported Oregon layoffs

What is here

Intel develops its leading-edge manufacturing processes in Hillsboro, Oregon, at the Ronler Acres and Gordon Moore Park campuses.
Intel announced layoffs in 2025 that reporting said hit Oregon hardest of any state. Treat Hillsboro as a place with deep chip experience, not a place that is hiring at 2022 pace.
Housing in Washington County is well above the other fab towns in this guide. We have not confirmed a current median price.

Not yet confirmed: current Oregon headcount and hiring level. Figures change quickly here.
