Anyone worried about how the ports will do with the tariffs levied? (Los Angeles: estimates)

[OyCrumbler]

There's still a significant amount of jobs related to the port including some well-paying blue collar jobs. Since Los Angeles is host to a major port for trans-pacific shipment, does anyone worry these tariffs and counter tariffs are going to hit the port significantly? Has anyone or any organization tried to do a predictive model on this or is it so insignificant that it doesn't require that?

The Trump administration’s tariffs on Chinese goods, as well as China’s retaliatory duties, could hit 15% of the shipments that flow through the Port of Los Angeles, a top local official said.

Do the ports really account for nearly a million jobs in Southern California? That's a really large number. I wonder how they came up with that.

Of course some people are worried. We’re all supposed to be worried about everything all the time.

That’s true, we should be worried. Worry is pretty much a fact of the life.
