Boeing to cut nearly 10,000 jobs in Washington, more than 12,000 overall

Washington state takes the biggest hit, with 9,840 jobs cut before July 31 in a combination of voluntary and involuntary layoffs.

This is the first and largest cut, but there is more to come. Boeing had earlier said it plans to cut about 16,000 jobs total due to the dramatic falloff in airline business.
