A rather impressive statistic NOYB, but you miss 3 very important facts.

#1) An article published December 4, 1998 being used as fact for what
happened in 1999 and 2000

#2) Boeing announced Dec. 1 that it will shed 48,000 jobs throughout the
company in 1999 and 2000, largely because the economic crisis in Asia is
battering Boeing's customers.

Largely because of the economic crisis in Asia.

#3) And this is the biggest clue

If Boeing follows through on its plan, the company will eliminate about 20
percent of the 238,000 workers that it had on its payroll in June. The
company did not say how many jobs would be lost in Washington state.

If is a very strong word... It says that it hadn't happened.

Tell you what, if you want yourself to look credible on this, perhaps you
can locate the actual numbers for what did happen rather than relying on
the
premonitions you are quoting.


They'll be easy to find. My brother was one of the mechanical engineers
laid off in 1999...exactly 3 days shy of his 1 year anniversity with the
company. If it had been 3 days later, Boeing would have had to pay his
moving expenses when he found a new job.
