Meanwhile... other huge companies like intel are laying off 15k workers
How exactly is Boeing involved? Since when is Boeing some massive jobs creator?
- The BLS noted that the Boeing strike likely subtracted 44,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector
  so I guess not just Boeing directly, but all jobs related to manufacturing of parts etc.
  
  This is the answer. Every single MFG facility in this area is cutting workers, office staff, etc. Quality first then operations and even the middle management/SLT/whatever bullshit name they cooked up. 10-20% easily.
  
  Makes sense.
