Boeing will hand out 60-day layoff notices today to about 500 employees companywide, including about 60 in Washington. About 40 of the 500 are with the Commercial Airplanes unit.

Boeing has been issuing layoff notices monthly since January, when it said it planned to cut 10,000 positions from its baseline employment of 163,356 on Nov. 30, 2008. Through the end of September, Boeing employment was down by just over 5,000 jobs companywide.
