How it's calculated
| # | Step | Arithmetic | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Employed today | 60,000 | |
| 2 | Share displaced | 50% | |
| 3 | Jobs displaced | 60,000 × 50% | 30,000 |
| 4 | Average annual wage | $55,000 | |
| 5 | Annual wages lost (before reemployment and transition support) | 30,000 × $55,000 | −$1.6B |
Trade-off: Accepted under the plan's ground rules; cushioned by the worker transition program and hiring preference at UHA.
