Evidence: major-outlet report. Signals: attribution 0.2, primary source 0.0, exec statement 0.0, role exposure 0.615, industry exposure 0.391, AI investment 0.0, contrary evidence 0.55 · named roles: Computer Systems Analysts, Data Scientists, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand, Software Developers, Truck Drivers, Heavy and Tractor-Traile
