American aviation firm Boeing intends to lay off two thousand jobs this year as part of a reduction in certain support services, with a part of the work shifted to India, after the firm had earlier committed to hiring 10,000 workers in 2023.

“We expect about 2,000 reductions primarily in Finance and HR through a combination of attrition and layoffs,” Boeing said in a statement Monday, according to The Associated Press. “While no one has been notified of job loss, we will continue to share information transparently to allow people to plan.”
