SEATTLE – Boeing (NYSE:BA) issued lay off notices to 692 workers in Missouri, home to the company’s Defense, Space & Security division, according to a federally-required filing posted on Wednesday, as part of the debt-heavy U.S. planemaker’s plan to cut 17,000 jobs, or 10% of its global workforce.
Including these layoffs, the company has issued 60-day notices to at least 3,100 U.S. workers in Washington, Oregon, South Carolina and Missouri, according to filings. Nearly 2,200 layoff notices went to workers in Washington and another 220 in South Carolina, the two states where Boeing builds commercial airliners.
