Boeing remains Washington state’s largest employer — although if Amazon’s hiring streak continues, the Seattle-based tech dynamo will soon overtake the aerospace giant.
Renton car dealers say their business remains good as the company refrains from layoffs. Boeing employees pack the Pickled Onion, a favorite pub, for beer bingo, darts and pool.
“We’re focused on testing and implementing the software update, providing pilot training, and rebuilding trust with our airline customers and the traveling public,” said Paul Bergman, a Boeing spokesman. Hedden, researching a doctoral thesis on Seattle’s economic rebound, said laid-off blue-collar workers had the most trouble finding jobs after the bust. He expects that manufacturing workers would again take the brunt if Boeing takes another dive.
“Boeing does matter, and it would be problematic for certain areas of the region if it suffers,” Shulman said, “but that hasn’t reached the public consciousness on a broad scale.”
