“Supply chain disruptions caused by COVID and compounded by Intel’s manufacturing difficulties have made it extraordinarily difficult to predict. As of late February, the world grappled with disruptions in Ukraine and the ongoing surge of the virus, adding to that a changing workforce and new job site regulations,” said John Bede The forecast for the rest of the year is full of confusion and surprise.
