How it's calculated
| # | Step | Arithmetic | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Employed today | 40,000 | |
| 2 | Share displaced | 85% | |
| 3 | Jobs displaced | 40,000 × 85% | 34,000 |
| 4 | Average annual wage | $85,000 | |
| 5 | Annual wages lost (before reemployment and transition support) | 34,000 × $85,000 | −$2.9B |
Trade-off: Accepted under the plan's ground rules; cushioned by the worker transition program and hiring preference at UHA.
