Why? Did Boeing lay off a whole bunch of peeps? Last I heard, the Max is now coming back in the summer. That's a positive outlook for jobs and production.

Boeing has about 600 suppliers that build components or provide services related to the Max, some of which earn a substantial portion of their revenue from Boeing contracts related to the plane. Boeing says it's the largest manufacturing exporter in the US, which, coupled with the number of suppliers it buys from, can lead to an outsize effect on workforces around the country — Boeing has just over 150,000 employees across its commercial, defense, and global services divisions, but the actual number of engineering and manufacturing employees touched by the plane is far greater.
Earlier this month, Spirit AeroSystems, which builds fuselages for the plane,
announced it would lay off 2,800 workers at its factory in Wichita, Kansas, because of the 737 Max production halt, with smaller cuts planned at its facilities in Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma. Spirit said that building components for the 737 Max accounted for about 50% of its annual revenue. An employee told Business Insider that layoffs would begin to take effect this week.
General Electric, which builds power plants for the 737 Max and other planes,
laid off 70 temporary employees at a factory in Quebec, but GE's aerospace-engines division has a far more robust client base than some other suppliers.
