“This new facility will create about 3,100 direct jobs and support more than 11,000 indirect jobs.”

What the record shows
Anduril estimates 3,100 direct jobs; official Maryland announcement states facility will support over 14,000 total jobs (direct and indirect combined), not 11,000 indirect jobs specifically.
Direct job figure accurate; indirect job count appears understated. Official sources cite 14,000+ total jobs, not 11,000 indirect.
