Boeing Announces 17,000 Job Cuts, Including Nearly 400 in Washington

The aerospace giant is reducing its global workforce by 10% to address financial challenges and operational setbacks after a turbulent year.

Boeing plans to lay off 396 employees in Washington by February 2025, as part of a broader restructuring effort.
The layoffs are part of a 10% global workforce reduction announced in October, affecting approximately 17,000 jobs across multiple states and countries.
Workers impacted in Washington are spread across locations including Seattle, Renton, Everett, and several others in the Puget Sound area.
The company cited financial pressures, safety concerns, and operational disruptions, including a machinists' strike and production delays, as key reasons for the cuts.
Laid-off employees will receive severance pay, career transition support, and subsidized health insurance for up to three months.
