CommentsBoeing employment will continue downward through 2010, Boeing chief executive Jim McNerney told a Middle East business publication Thursday.
The employment reduction is unlikely to match the 10,000-person payroll reduction goal Boeing set for this year, he said.
“We’ve talked about the 10,000 and then maybe more,” he told Arabian Business. “Not in the magnitude of another 10,000, but there will be a continuation of the trend line through to the end of the year.”
Boeing has yet to cull 10,000 jobs this year. Through the first nine months of the year, the company lost 4,636 workers through layoffs, retirement and attrition. In Washington, the payroll fell from 76,417 at the end of December last year to 72,923 at the end of October. That’s a difference of 3,494 workers.
