Actually the 43 jobs lost were Shamu, a few dolphins, sea lions, and a couple penguins. :)
I wonder if Six Flags offered the people jobs at the park. After all they will need to hire more unless they plan on running understaffed like a few other SF parks. To me it would seem pretty ignorant of SF to not offer them jobs. Maybe those people were in charge of taking care of the animals and are being relocated.
