What exact job title was lost in the US because of Chinese solar manufacturing and mining?

By your logic, Tesla (equally dependent on Chinese pollution and mining) wouldn't employ any technologists.

I've purchased equipment from scrapped solar factories in the Bay Area. Tons of people lost jobs and not just technologists.
And I've purchased solar from people who only had jobs because of cheap Chinese panels. Someone in the US still has to market, sell, install, finance, and maintain the panels. Your anecdote isn't interesting by itself, and I was asking specifically about the silly claim made about technologists.
