Boeing is issuing 60-day layoff notices Friday to 520 local employees and another 500 at other sites.

Most of the affected local employees work in information technology as part of Boeing's Engineering, Operations & Technology unit, while "just a handful" are in the Commercial Airplanes and Defense, Space & Security units, said spokesman Wilson Chow.

The last day of work for laid-off employees will be April 23.

In January, Boeing gave 60-day notices to 125 employees, 25 of them in Washington.
