The establishment of Intel’s new plant in Kiryat Gat will have a positive impact on local high-tech and increase the variety of jobs in it. However, the reliance of the Israeli high-tech and economy on Intel only grew as the company is currently in a critical period, preparing for years of intensifying competition in the industry and profound technological changes that could threaten its status. Israel and the local high-tech should hope that Intel will emerge from these challenges strengthened. According to data published yesterday by Intel, the company has 11,700 employees in Israel. According to a report by Samuel Neaman, she is indirectly responsible for the employment of 52,000 people in Israel.
