DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - The Obama administration is highlighting what it's doing to boost jobs when Vice President Joe Biden visits a North Carolina company enjoying rapid sales of its light-producing semiconductor chips.
Vice President Joe Biden and Energy Secretary Steven Chu have scheduled a visit on Thursday to the headquarters and factory of Cree Inc. The Durham company has hired about 375 workers since last summer to design, produce and sell its energy-efficient lighting.
The White House says boosting manufacturing in renewable and energy-efficiency technologies like Cree's light-emitting diodes will create jobs for products growing in demand.
Last year's $787 billion stimulus package included tax credits for selected companies that push ahead with manufacturing clean-energy products.
