Downsizing of the Industry In New England, downsizing of the jet engines industry was dramatic and drawn out. Though it abated somewhat during the mid-1990s, job cuts continue. Total employment at GE in Lynn, for example, was projected to fall to an all-time low of 4,800 by the year 2000.25 The plant had employed close to 9,000 hourly workers in the mid-1980s. Pratt & Whitney’s production work- force, 14,000 strong as recently as 1988, had fall- en to 6,600 by 1998.26 By the middle of 2000, Pratt & Whitney’s union- represented production workforce in Connecticut numbered just 4,700.27 A former Textron-Lycoming plant in Stratford, Con- necticut, that had once employed over 5,000 pro- duction workers building small gas turbines was closed following its 1994 acquisition by AlliedSig- nal, which sought to con- solidate those operations with its other facilities in Phoenix, Arizona. The consequences of contrac- tions at plants where final engines were built rippled through local suppliers. During the 1990s, one of the largest plants, Wyman-Gordon, a maker of specialty forgings with a half dozen plants in New England, reduced its workforce 43 percent, and it was certainly not the only regional aerospace supplier to do so. As these layoffs occurred, a negative multiplier effect contributed to the contraction of the entire re- gional economy. U.S. Aircraft Engine Manufacturing, Real Value of Sales, 1972–1997, (1987=100) Between 1988 and 1997, the end of the Cold War contributed to a 57 percent decline in sales to the U.S. government. 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Total Sales Other Sales Government Sales Trend 1972 1975 1978 1981 1984 1987 1990 1993 1996 Jet Engine Manufacturing in New England 11 Millions of dollarsPDF Image | JET ENGINE MANUFACTURING IN NEW ENGLAND
