The AI frenzy has sent the value of South Korea's top chipmakers skyrocketing, France 24 reported. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have traded places as the world's most valuable producer of memory chips. Following strident union organizing at the firms, workers have become some of the country's highest-paid employees.
Some performance bonuses at Samsung's chip unit are set to top 400,000 dollars this year. That compensation surge has made jobs at both companies highly sought-after in South Korea. It has also made their employees highly sought-after as marriage prospects.
