The company, which recently moved its headquarters to Arlington, Virginia, said it expects “significant growth” in its overall workforce during the year. “We grew Boeing’s workforce by 15,000 last year and plan to add 10,000 more this year with a focus on engineering and manufacturing,” the statement said.
The company said Boeing’s total workforce as of December 31, 2022 was 156,000 employees.
