134B total. if 50% goes to material, 20% goes to profit, and 10% goes to other costs. about 27B goes to wages. If a worker averagelly makes 50K + overhead of 40% = 70K per year. That translated to 382857 job-year. Assume the project takes 10 years to complete. Each year you will get 38,286 new jobs. That's for the construction phase.
The trans-Alaskan pipeline has about 30 stations. Assume a similar pump-station structure, the project will benefit 30 small towns. Also I think 1000 people per station is too high. A lot of pump stations in Alaska are in the wildness. I doubt one can maintain a 1000-people station in the middle of nowhere. What does your source say the # of workers per station?
