Boeing to lay off 2,200 Washington workers in coming months

Published On Nov 19, 2024, 8:30 AM

Boeing is planning to lay off 2,200 workers in Washington state and an additional 220 in South Carolina as part of a larger plan to cut 17,000 jobs globally, which represents 10% of its workforce. This restructuring is attributed to the company's need to adjust to its financial realities and align production capabilities following recent operational challenges and a significant strike by workers. The layoffs will occur primarily after January 17, ensuring compliance with federal notice requirements. Boeing states that those affected will receive severance and career transition services.

Stock Forecasts

Given the significant job cuts and ongoing operational challenges, Boeing's financial stability may be affected in the short term. This news could lead to decreased investor confidence in the company's near-term performance. However, if Boeing successfully manages its restructuring and resumes stable production of its key aircraft lines, there could be a pathway for recovery in the stock price over the longer term.
