The semiconductor company Intel isn’t based in Oregon, but it does have large manufacturing  facilities in Hillsboro and Aloha.

Oregonian/Oregonlive.com business reporter Mike Rogoway has been covering this industry for decades and joins us to share more details about the effect of this global company’s decisions on Oregon.
