Boeing has filed 40 WARN notices across 11 states, affecting 4,464 workers. Filings are concentrated in Charleston, Jacksonville, and Huntsville. Of these, 1 involved facility closures and 12 were layoff events. Filing dates range from Nov 15, 2024 through Feb 18, 2025. The average recorded date gap for measurable Boeing filings is 60 days; this does not establish notice received or legal compliance. The Nov 15, 2024 filing for 2,192 workers is larger than 99 percent of WARN filings nationally.
The current year is incomplete; these totals are not a like-for-like growth comparison.

Boeing is an aerospace and defense manufacturer headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, with major production facilities in Washington state and South Carolina. Founded in 1916 in Seattle, the company builds commercial airplanes, military aircraft, satellites, and defense systems. Boeing employs roughly 170,000 people worldwide and is one of the largest U.S. exporters by dollar value.
Boeing has a long history of cyclical workforce reductions tied to airplane orders, defense contracts, and production challenges. The company went through major cuts after the 2001 downturn and again during the 2008 recession. In February 2023, Boeing cut about 2,000 positions in finance and HR while simultaneously hiring 10,000 in engineering and manufacturing. The largest recent reduction came in October 2024, when new CEO Kelly Ortberg announced 17,000 job cuts, roughly 10% of the global workforce. That round came during a machinist strike that had halted most commercial airplane production, combined with a $6 billion quarterly loss, years of safety scrutiny following the 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019, and a door panel blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight in early 2024.
Boeing's responses to industry disruption have been mixed. The company dominated commercial aviation for decades but lost ground to Airbus in market share during the 2010s. Its attempt to rush the 737 MAX to market to compete with the Airbus A320neo led to two fatal crashes and years of production halts. Boeing invested $68 billion in stock buybacks between 2010 and 2019, a period when critics argue that spending should have gone toward engineering and safety improvements. The 777X widebody program, intended to be Boeing's next-generation flagship, is years behind schedule with first deliveries now pushed to 2026.
Boeing is in the early stages of a financial and operational turnaround under CEO Kelly Ortberg, who took over in August 2024. The company is carrying heavy debt, faces potential credit downgrades, and has signaled that workforce reductions may continue as it restructures around its core commercial and defense businesses. The machinist strike ended in November 2024 with a new contract, but production ramp-up remains slow.

Data on this site comes from WARN Act filings published by state workforce agencies. Where a state does not publish a usable list, filings come from a third-party compilation and are marked on each row. Filings are updated regularly but may not reflect same-day submissions. Coverage varies by state.
Across 34 filings with usable paired dates, the median recorded gap is 60 days. This is date arithmetic, not a finding about notice received by workers or legal compliance. Source definitions, coverage and exceptions matter.
Severance is negotiable more often than people assume, and the leverage is largest before a notice lands. Financial Samurai's How To Engineer Your Layoff walks through how those conversations actually go, with real severance examples.
