The project is expected to create **162 high-tech jobs** with average salaries of nearly **$71,000** — well above Cumberland County's current average of about $50,000. ## Why Cumberland County? Local officials highlight the region's proximity to **Fort Bragg** and its focus on workforce training as key factors. "The proximity to Fort Bragg or actually military, the training that we're doing in our community college and university systems — we're setting ourselves up in that space," said Cumberland County Board of Commissioners Chairman Kirk deViere. Rob Patton Jr., executive vice president of the Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation, called the project a turning point: "With the loss of Goodyear, it gets us really further on the map with manufacturing and advanced manufacturing." ## What Jobs Are Coming? The facility will focus on **manufacturing drone systems**, requiring machinists, CNC operators, painters, and quality assurance/quality control personnel. "This is truly manufacturing," Patton emphasized. ## Economic Impact Over the next decade, the investment could generate **more than $68 million in economic activity** and add new tax revenue. State and local leaders, including Gov. Josh Stein, praised the announcement as evidence of North Carolina's ability to attract advanced manufacturing investment. ## What's Next? Hiring and facility transformation are expected to begin soon.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>dronemanufacturing</category> <category>high-techjobs</category> <category>northcarolina</category> <category>defenseinnovation</category> <category>economicdevelopment</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/19598076_072926-wtvd-drone-fay-clean-530p-img.jpg?w=1600" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Trump's Trade War Promised Factory Jobs: What Actually Happened?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/trumps-trade-war-promised-factory-jobs-what-actually-happened</link> <guid>trumps-trade-war-promised-factory-jobs-what-actually-happened</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 12:15:24 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[President Trump's aggressive trade policies were supposed to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., but the reality is more nuanced. Since his second term began, the economy has **lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs**—a 0.6% decline, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. ## The Tariff Effect Economist Laura Veldkamp at Columbia Business School notes that tariffs have made it more profitable for American manufacturers to produce domestically, boosting **manufacturing output by 1.1%** over the past year. However, this hasn't translated into jobs because factories are increasingly automated. ## Automation Over Employment Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, explains: "Manufacturing activity is very mechanized, automated. So even if you see a pickup in output, it doesn't translate into jobs, because these factories just don't employ a lot of people." This trend has been ongoing since the 1980s. ## Auto Industry Struggles The U.S. auto industry, a key focus of Trump's policies, has seen employment drop **more than 2.5%** since January 2025. Weak demand is a major factor, with average car prices hovering near **$50,000**, pricing out many consumers. ## Glimmers of Hope Some automakers are planning to onshore production, which could create jobs. David Whiston, a U.S. autos analyst at Morningstar, points to recent announcements by **GM in Kansas and Tennessee**, and **Toyota in Texas**. While tariffs may boost output, the jobs of the past are unlikely to return at scale due to automation and high costs.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>manufacturing</category> <category>tradepolicy</category> <category>automation</category> <category>autoindustry</category> <category>jobs</category> <enclosure url="https://img.apmcdn.org/8d4ca934384655709b922ca3e9b6d7b6e22546bb/widescreen/9f5d97-20260728-trump-speaks-at-a-rally-two-signs-behind-him-say-general-motors-proving-grounds-and-american-cars-2000.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Quit My Job to Keep My Family Together: How a Returner Program Made My 6-Year Career Break Easier]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/quit-my-job-to-keep-my-family-together-how-a-returner-program-made-my-6-year-career-break-easier</link> <guid>quit-my-job-to-keep-my-family-together-how-a-returner-program-made-my-6-year-career-break-easier</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2026 19:15:28 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ramya Ramesh, 39, who lives in New Jersey. The following has been edited for length and clarity. In 2018, I was faced with a big decision: quit my job and **move to Canada** with my husband for a year, or stay in the US alone with our 4-year-old daughter. I had spent practically my whole career working in the semiconductor industry, first at IBM, and then at GlobalFoundries. When my husband was offered a work assignment in Canada, **I quit to keep our family together**. We expected the assignment to keep us in Canada for a year, but factors including COVID and getting pregnant meant we weren't ready to move back to the US until 2023, 4½ years after we first moved. When I looked for work again after **six years away**, I ruled out the semiconductor industry because I feared the environment had changed too much. Then, a **re-entry program at my previous company** helped me ease back into the workforce. ## Language Barriers and Childcare Needs Stopped Me from Working in Canada When we arrived in Montreal, I knew French was the primary language, but I underestimated how important fluency was for life and work. I **struggled to communicate** even at my daughter's daycare and the doctor's office. I looked into semiconductor jobs, but adverts required French proficiency. I took French classes for over a year, but the pandemic hit in 2020, and I became pregnant with our second child. It didn't feel like a good time to look for a job. ## I Was Worried About Finding Work, But My Niche Skills Gave Me an Advantage I knew my career gap was getting longer, and I worried if I'd ever find a job. I explored event management and substitute teaching, but nothing clicked. In August 2024, former colleagues at GlobalFoundries informed me the company was hiring for a role in my old department. They said people remembered me, which encouraged me to apply. During the technical interview, my break didn't seem like a big deal. My answers demonstrated that I felt confident about **asking for support as a returnee**. My prior experience gave me an advantage because my area of expertise is very niche—it's more like **plug-and-play** for someone who's done this before. ## My Company's Returner Program Showed Me You Can Get Back to Work with Support In October 2024, I rejoined GlobalFoundries. The first two weeks were overwhelming, but the HR department really helped. The company's **re-entry program** offered structured support, including basic training and **assigned mentors**. When I was confused by abbreviations, my mentor connected me with another returner who shared a list. For the first month or two, HR checked in weekly to ask how they could help. The support I received showed me that returning to your career after a long gap is possible. ## My Career Break Changed My Approach to Work Living in a different country with a different language during the pandemic forced me to be proactive about seeking solutions. I apply this to my work today. If I hit a hurdle, I get perspective from multiple people and resolve the issue. Before the break, I might have only reached out to one person, but I'm **more confident now**. I think I'm more effective at technical problems and more visible inside the organization than before. I don't have any regrets about taking time away from work to enjoy time with my children. I'd absolutely recommend a career break to others who can financially support themselves. Nowadays, there are many programs at companies that accept returners, and there are ways to get back into work.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>careerbreak</category> <category>returnerprogram</category> <category>semiconductor</category> <category>womenintech</category> <category>work-lifebalance</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/6a60e22b54f98752617783c4?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//6a60e22b54f98752617783c4"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[West Coast Tech Job Crisis: AI Reshapes Hiring, Unemployment Soars]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/west-coast-tech-job-crisis-ai-reshapes-hiring-unemployment-soars</link> <guid>west-coast-tech-job-crisis-ai-reshapes-hiring-unemployment-soars</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Jul 2026 19:15:22 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[California, Oregon, and Washington now have some of the **highest unemployment rates** in the nation, tied at **5.2%** in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Only Washington D.C. is higher at 6%. The culprit? **AI is reshaping the West Coast's dominant tech industry**, sharply slowing hiring for roles like software developers, computer engineers, and data analysts. Economists point to structural changes as companies increasingly use AI to boost productivity, reducing the need for traditional tech roles. Indeed data confirms a significant slowdown in tech hiring across the region. For job seekers, this has upended the long-held assumption that the West Coast is a tech job haven. Workers now face tough choices: **pivot to another field, wait for the market to recover, or relocate** for better opportunities. ### Key Takeaways - **AI-driven productivity** is reducing demand for human tech workers. - The West Coast's tech-heavy economy is particularly vulnerable. - Job seekers must adapt or consider leaving the region.

The layoffs are part of a broader trend as companies **reallocate resources toward AI infrastructure** and automation, leaving many tech professionals in uncertainty. ### What's Driving the Cuts? The primary factor is a **massive shift in spending from traditional tech roles to AI-focused projects**. Companies are prioritizing investments in machine learning, data centers, and AI-powered tools, often at the expense of roles in software development, IT support, and operations. This restructuring is not limited to any single sector; giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have all announced significant workforce reductions. ### Impact on the Job Market While the layoffs are alarming, they also signal a **growing demand for AI specialists**. Roles in machine learning engineering, data science, and AI ethics are seeing increased hiring. However, for those in non-AI roles, the market is becoming more competitive. The report suggests that **upskilling in AI-related fields** is crucial for career resilience. ### Regional and Industry Variations California's Silicon Valley remains the epicenter of layoffs, but the trend is spreading to tech hubs in Texas, New York, and Washington. **Cloud computing and cybersecurity** are also experiencing shifts, with companies automating routine tasks and focusing on advanced threat detection. ### What Should Tech Professionals Do? - **Upskill in AI and machine learning** to stay relevant. - **Network actively** and explore opportunities in emerging tech sectors. - **Consider remote roles** to expand job options beyond local markets. The tech industry is in a **transformative phase**, and while job cuts are painful, they also create new opportunities for those willing to adapt.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>aiinfrastructure</category> <category>jobcuts</category> <category>techindustry</category> <category>upskilling</category> <enclosure url="https://pressinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/AI-Jobs.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Manufacturing's IT Talent Crunch: A Golden Opportunity for Tech Pros]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/manufacturings-it-talent-crunch-a-golden-opportunity-for-tech-pros</link> <guid>manufacturings-it-talent-crunch-a-golden-opportunity-for-tech-pros</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:15:32 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[For many IT professionals, manufacturing still evokes assembly lines and legacy tech. But the reality inside today's factories is far different. They're increasingly reliant on **cloud platforms, AI, IIoT, robotics, digital twins, and cybersecurity** — creating a surge in demand for IT talent. According to Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute, U.S. manufacturers will need **3.8 million additional workers** between 2024 and 2033, with roughly half at risk of going unfilled due to a skills gap. ## Factories Need Tech Talent “The factory floor is quietly turning into an IT department,” says Joseph George of GoTo. Smart manufacturing requires cloud infrastructure, data analytics, AI, IIoT networking, and cybersecurity — skills that enterprise IT pros already possess. Sarah Lee from IDC notes, “Manufacturing is increasingly becoming a software- and data-driven industry.” Roles in AI, robotics, digital twins, and industrial analytics need expertise in **cloud computing, AI, cybersecurity, data engineering, and systems integration** — often without requiring traditional manufacturing experience. ## Skills that Transfer **Network architecture, cloud, and data engineering skills** translate directly. Cybersecurity offers a clear pathway, but requires learning how **Operational Technology (OT)** differs from IT. “IT prioritizes confidentiality; OT prioritizes uptime and safety,” George explains. Building OT-specific expertise through industrial cybersecurity courses is recommended. Dr. Elli Reges highlights **digital trust and identity authentication** as pivotal as connected devices proliferate. ## Why Manufacturers Want IT Pros Manufacturers are now hiring from outside the industry for tech roles. “The balance is shifting,” says George. Projects like predictive maintenance, OT security operations centers, and cloud-connected analytics need strong IT skills. “The people who combine both will command the real demand and compensation.” ## Security a Central Skill Louis Eichenbaum of ColorTokens emphasizes the convergence of IT and OT. “It's no longer enough to know how to secure an IT network. You must understand how a cyber event can affect physical operations.” Fast-growing roles include **OT security architects, industrial cybersecurity engineers, and Zero Trust architects** with manufacturing experience. ## Making the Career Move Experts recommend focusing on how technology supports industrial operations. “Get familiar with operational technology and industrial processes being digitally transformed,” George advises. Key roles in demand: **OT security engineer, industrial data engineer, manufacturing cloud architect, and industrial cybersecurity analyst**. AI skills will become critical as manufacturers scale predictive maintenance and AI-powered inspection. Lee adds, “Professionals who can bridge IT and OT and understand how to deploy AI responsibly within operational environments will be well positioned.”]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>manufacturing</category> <category>itjobs</category> <category>digitaltransformation</category> <category>cybersecurity</category> <category>ai</category> <enclosure url="https://www.dice.com/binaries/large/content/gallery/dice/insights/2026/07/adobestock_616253756.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
