Some Florida aviation jobs may soon be lost.
Embraer, a jetmaker based in Brazil, has announced it plans to lay off 20 percent of its global workforce. While some of those job cuts will effect workers in South Florida, the exact number of cuts expected there has not yet been revealed, according to an article by the SunSentinel.
The company employs more than 250 workers in South Florida, about 600 workers in the United States and about 21,362 workers worldwide. Of the 4,000 or more jobs to be cut, most will be administrative and management positions.
