Boeing Announces Layoffs of Over 2,500 Workers Across Multiple States

The aerospace giant plans to cut 10% of its global workforce as it navigates financial challenges and production issues.

Boeing will lay off more than 2,200 workers in Washington, with additional cuts in Oregon, South Carolina, and Missouri.
The layoffs are part of a broader plan to reduce the company's workforce by 10%, affecting approximately 17,000 employees worldwide.
The decision follows a nearly two-month machinists' strike that halted production at key facilities, though Boeing states the layoffs are due to overstaffing.
Workers impacted by the layoffs will remain on the payroll until mid-January, with severance and benefits provided for up to three months.
Boeing has faced financial difficulties since the 737 MAX crashes and recent production slowdowns, prompting workforce adjustments.
