A loss of 40,000 jobs.
Just to be clear, this was from online chatting, not official news sources so I don’t know how reliable it is.
But it got me thinking., with the chaos and higher prices for so many supplies and materials, could it be cheaper for companies to produce their products outside the US, where prices are stable and reasonable, and then import the finished product and pay only one final tariff?
If so, there could be that big sucking sound again with more manufacturing jobs than ever disappearing.
