Overview

Arizona skilled-labor workforce exposure: composite WEI 86 (High, rising) at Q2 2026 — the second-highest state read in the WIL archive. Public-source context indicates TSMC Phase 2 equipment installation commences Q3 2026 against a backdrop of ~$205B in semiconductor investment statewide. IBEW Local 640 dispatch data is consistent with multi-year backlogs and documented traveler calls. A living record, updated each quarter.
