SUMMARY: Boeing has laid off over 100 local workers as part of a nationwide reduction affecting 177,000 employees. This comes just before Christmas and follows protests for better pay amid furloughs. Most affected are assembly and process mechanics due to delays in the 777x aircraft’s delivery. Experts suggest that workers should remain calm and recognize this may be an opportunity for new career paths. Despite the layoffs, Boeing continues to support its employees by maintaining pay and health benefits until mid-January, while local agencies offer resources for resume and interview assistance.

The company says a delay in the 777X commercial aircraft being delivered is to blame for cutting staff. The local layoffs are part of a 17,000 employee reduction nationwide.
