That included around 72,000 union members. The headcount is up from 2015, when it had about 161,400. Still, Boeing had layoffs in the past due to financial problems, and union workers have gone on strike to get management to meet their demands over pay, benefits, and safety.TravelWhere are Boeing’s headquarters? Its major hubs explainedBoeing’s headquarters near Washington, D.C., are far from its Seattle origins. Here is why Boeing moved its headquarters near the U.S. capital and when.What is Boeing’s revenue per employee?Boeing reported $89.463 billion in revenue in 2025. With about 182,000 workers in 2025, that translated to $491,555 in revenue per employee. That compared to the average of $642,000 in revenue per employee for companies in the S&P 500 Index, according to an August 2025 post by Chart Kid Matt, a blog that tracks the stock market and market data.Who are the highest-paid employees at Boeing?Executives were among the highest-paid employees at Boeing, with stock and cash awards tied to meeting internal performance targets boosting their total compensation.Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg was the highest-paid employee, earning $1.5 million in 2025, and he also had the highest compensation, with $23.58 million. Other executives had base salaries much lower, starting at around $400,000, but their compensation was much higher. Jesus Malave, who was promoted to CFO in 2025, earned almost $400,000 but had a bonus of $8.5 million, and his compensation totaled $20 million.Boeing’s CEO pay ratioOrtberg posted total compensation of $23.58 million in 2025, and the median employee compensation was $141,933. That put the CEO pay ratio at 166 to 1. That’s the same multiple as Nvidia’s, which is the biggest publicly traded company with a market capitalization approaching $5 trillion.Where do most of Boeing’s employees work?The majority of Boeing’s employees work at the company’s facilities in the U.S., and 14% are located outside the country. Its biggest facilities are in the Seattle, Washington area, where it makes its commercial aircraft, and in the St. Louis, Missouri area, where it builds military aircraft and weapons.” - How many employees does Boeing have? - TheStreetTrump’s new budget ignores dying Americans and gives away record sums to the US military by Eduardo Porter“President’s proposed budget slashes health department by 12% while throwing $1.5tn – a 42% increase – to the militarySun 12 Apr 2026 07.00 EDTShareAmericans are dying in droves. Deaths due to avoidable causes in the United States –which could be dealt with via prevention or proper healthcare – far outpace those in most of country’s peers in the industrialized world. Most notably, Americans die of treatable conditions at nearly twice the rate as Spaniards, French, Japanese and Australians.They would most likely live longer if they enjoyed better access to healthcare. Americans are the most likely to skip a doctor’s appointment due to its cost, the most likely to skip a medical test and to skimp on prescription drugs. This is unsurprising, given the extraordinary lack of public health insurance in the United States. Americans face the highest out-of-pocket expenses for medical services in their peer group.Donald Trump evidently does not believe this is an issue for the world’s richest nation.If the budget for 2027 the White House proposed last week is anything to go by, healthcare is not the government’s problem: the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) could see its budget cut by over $15bn, 12% less compared with this year.The cut comes on top of the evisceration of the healthcare budget last year, when the president’s “big, beautiful bill” (BBB) cut more than $1tn over 10 years from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, largely by imposing onerous work requirements on Medicaid that will push 15 million Americans to lose health insurance, according to some analysts.Unattainable healthcare is not the only challenge Americans face that Trump has decided is not his problem. The lack of affordable childcare is a key reason why American women’s labor participation is among the lowest in the industrialized world. But government spending on early childhood ...
