1. Lockheed Martin to cut 1,000 aerospace workers
Lockheed Martin is planning to cut 1,000 jobs in its aerospace division. The Texas-based division, which makes the F-35, F-22, and other fighter jets, says the move is necessary to remain competitive. The Maryland-based parent company has about 126,000 employees around the world. News of the voluntary program to reduce the number of mid-level employees was followed by a more-than-2-percent rise in Lockheed Martin's stock.
