Except we have lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs from federal departments since Trump entered office
And where did they go? Silicon Valley, Europe or China? This doesn’t necessarily mean the US has less PHDs available.
And 15% less PhD applicants, 21% less of foreign PhD applicants

OpenAI, Google, Meta and all the other jazz is still attracting the talent. Unfortunately.

It actually does. That’s how math works. If you have X - 10,000, your result is less than X
That’s just one employer, not all American employers.
