The 74,000 figure isn't very meaningful, because most of it is in California.

Show me how many they employ in eg TX, VA, PA, GA. I'm willing to bet it's not more than a couple thousand. If it were 15k-20k across six or seven red states, that would matter politically.

Google's VA presence is in Loudon and Fairfax counties. Those are Democrat-leaning counties driving Virginia's status as a swing state. There are 88 companies with 500+ employees in Fairfax, and 220 companies with 100+ employees in Loudon. Google doesn't make either list.
