How is 25 American takings jobs in Austria newsworthy?
On its own it isn't, but I suspect if all of these were reported you might think it quite significant.
25 people can not be an indication of anything. Academics especially are moving around often and take up work in different countries.

25 people leaving is a sea change.

Not many people walk away from Harvard, MIT, Princeton, etc. If you had tenure there (a big if, since the article is unclear), or even were tenure track, that was viewed as one of the most prestigious and desirable jobs in the world. 25 people leaving is a sea change.
25 Academics leaving is not "sea change".

Some very major ifs there.
I was hoping the EU can capitalize on this, but remain skeptical as the EU politicians have noticed what kind of rhetoric is successful and are starting to bang the same drum louder and louder. Being anti immigration one of the main ideas. We'll see. My bet is China will be the big winner.
Two regions that have been capitalising from skilled programmers and that hardly anyone talks about are the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Do we know if they have programs like this for high skill tech workers or is it just PhDs at this point?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Taking a less cynical view, it's just successful Austrian PR.
It's right in the first paragraph: "Austria has lured what it calls 25 "top researchers" away from U.S. institutions including Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton with grants set up in response to the Trump administration's funding cuts targeting universities."

This has been my observation living in the EU. Two regions that have been capitalising from skilled programmers and that hardly anyone talks about are the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
