How many employees does Boeing have in 2026?
“Boeing reported in its 2025 annual report that it had a workforce of about 182,000. 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.

Where are Boeing’s headquarters? Its major hubs explained
Boeing’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 ratio
Ortberg 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? - TheStreet
Trump’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 EDTShare
Americans 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 education and care is also among the stingiest among affluent nations.
What does Trump care about? The BBB communicated his overarching interest in cutting the tax bill of the well-to-do, offering up a $4.5tn tax cut over 10 years that will boost the after-tax income of the richest 10% of the population by 2.7%, a cool $13,622 per household, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
To the average American, it must be hard to understand Trump’s budget proposal as anything but a betrayal
Trump’s other interest is hard power, to better crush his foes. The BBB last year included $165bn for the Department of Homeland Security to “deliver on the President’s mandate to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens and make America safe again”. Last week, he bet the house to pay for a bigger military. As he put it at an Easter lunch reception last week: “We have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country.”
That is proving expensive. By some estimates, the Pentagon spent $12.7bn in the first six days and $28bn in a little over five weeks on the war against Iran, which appears to have next to nothing to do with guarding the country. His budget proposal, released last week, the one that cut the budget for HHS by 12% and the entire non-defense budget by 10%, was transparent about the Brobdingnagian sums Trump wants to spend on this kind of stuff: $1.5tn in 2027 alone. About three times Iran’s entire GDP and 42% more than the budget for 2026.
The message to everyday Americans is: beware. The cuts to the non-defense budget in the 2027 proposal are nowhere near enough to cover this increase in defense spending. Given Trump’s and the Republican party’s aversion to taxes, they are all but certain to come after the rest of the safety net to cover the bill.skip past newsletter promotion

Trump was even willing to go on the record, if only momentarily, in a message that will surely become the basis for Democratic attack ads as this year’s midterm elections get into full swing. “It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things, they can do it on a state basis,” he said at a White House Easter reception. “All these little scams you have to let states take care of them.” The message was so outrageous that after posting the video of Trump’s remarks on its YouTube page, the White House deleted it. To no avail, of course. Things on the internet live for ever.
The White House claims corruption justifies cutting the non-defense budget: it said it cut $4bn from a program to ensure poor households’ access to electricity because dead people were getting benefits, among other fraudulent things. It took $5bn from the budget of the National Institutes of Health because it “broke the trust of the American people with wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research, and the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health”.
To the average American, however, it must be hard to understand Trump’s budget proposal as anything but a betrayal. He won the presidency twice, largely by promising help for America’s beleaguered working stiffs, forever ignored by cosmopolitan elites in power, invested in foreign trade agreements and open borders policies. The budget proposal confirms that, if it ever was sincere, this commitment has by now been forgotten.
The data carries a warning for the president, though. If he keeps ignoring the needs of his base, he may soon no longer have one. This is not just about his sagging poll numbers. This is about American men and women dying. They are also his voters. He might show them some care.”
Time to travel back to 1920 and find out what was the Nazi Party’s original manifesto for the future by Jack Heart
‘The 25 Points was a political manifesto issued by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP). It was proclaimed on February 24th, 1920, by Adolf Hitler at the first large Party gathering in Munich. The Nazi hierarchy frequently referred to the 25 Points as an “unalterable expression” of the party’s political philosophy:
1. We demand the unification of all Germans in Greater Germany on the basis of the right of self-determination of peoples.
2. We demand equality of rights for the German people with respect to the other nations; abrogation of the peace treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.
3. We demand land and territory (colonies) for the sustenance of our people and colonization for our surplus population.
4. Only a member of the race can be a citizen. A member of the race can only be one who is of German blood, without consideration of creed. Consequently, no Jew can be a member of the race.
5. Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.
6. The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in the Reich, the county, or the municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, office-holding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.
7. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and way of life for the citizens. If it is impossible to sustain the total population of the State, then the members of foreign nations (non-citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich.
8. Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since 2 August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich.
9. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.
10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all Consequently we demand:
11. Abolition of unearned (work and labor) incomes. Breaking of rent-slavery.
12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
13. We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
14. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old-age welfare.
16. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and leasing them at low cost to small firms, and the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county, or municipality.
17. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, the abolition of taxes on land, and prevention of all speculation on land.
18. We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, Schieber, and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.
19. We demand the substitution of German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world order.
20. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently be introduced into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform to the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school [Staatsbuergerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
21. The State is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, outlawing child labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sports obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.
22. We demand the abolition of the mercenary troops and the formation of a national army.
23. We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a German press, we demand, that:
a. All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the German language be members of the race.
b. Non-German newspapers be required to have the express permission of the State to be published. They may not be printed in the German language.
c. Non-Germans are forbidden by law any financial interest in German publications, or any influence on them, and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-German concerned. Publications that are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life, and the closure of organizations opposing the above demands.
24. We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Germanic race. The Party as such advocates the standpoint of a positive Christianity without binding itself confessionally to any one denomination. It combats the Jewish materialistic spirit within and around us and is convinced that a lasting recovery of our nation can only succeed from within the framework: common utility precedes individual utility.
25. For the execution of all of this, we demand the formation of a strong central power in the Reich. Unlimited authority of the central parliament over the whole Reich and its organizations in general. The forming of state and professional chambers for the execution of the laws made by the Reich within the various states of the confederation. The leaders of the Party promise, if necessary by sacrificing their own lives, to support the execution of the points set forth above without consideration.’ - National Socialism: Hitlers’ Twenty-Five Points | VT Foreign Policy
