Its strongest dimension is job impact at 8/10 — real workforce implications — hiring, layoffs, or shifts in where the work gets done — with economic impact close behind at 7/10, pointing to meaningful consequences for capital, capacity, or competition across the industry. The effects land first in the CA / Silicon Valley region, so readers there should watch for follow-on announcements.
