Data remains unclear on whether Port of Baltimore suffered job losses after Key Bridge collapse

Maryland saw a statewide decline in transportation, warehousing and utility jobs in the two months following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, though it’s not yet clear exactly how many Port of Baltimore workers lost their jobs during the 11 weeks the port’s main channel was fully or partially closed. Most of the roughly 20,000 jobs at and around the port are in transportation, warehousing and utilities, and the broader sector comprises about 109,000 jobs statewide, according to the Maryland Department of Labor.
