Industry Resources

Compared to each and every domestic industry, the semiconductor industry is unique. Every year, the chipmakers dramatically increase the performance of their products while decreasing prices, making high-end technology goods increasingly productive and affordable for consumers. The benefits to the U.S. economy of this "more for less" manufacturing dynamic are dramatic. In the past five years, information technology, fueled by cheaper, faster chips, has not only reduced the U.S. inflation rate by .5% per year, but has doubled our domestic productivity growth rates.
