Several Florida aerospace jobs could soon be lost.
According to an article by the Orlando Sentinel, Central Florida’s space industry could lose more than 7,000 jobs during the next few years as NASA retires its space shuttle program. On top of that, Northrop Grumman Corp. recently announced that it will eventually layoff workers in the area.
The company announced it plans to eliminate 70 jobs, or about 6 percent of its workforce. Northrup Grumman previously employed about 1,200 workers in its airborne defense electronics and other combat systems divisions.
