WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Cessna Aircraft Co. says it is laying off 2,000 employees.
The announcement was made in an e-mail to workers Monday. The work force reductions will be implemented across the Wichita-based company's facilities and affect all pay categories.
Spokesman Robert Stangarone says workers will receive a 60-day notice within the next few weeks, with the job cuts occurring in March.
Cessna is Wichita's biggest employer, with 12,000 employees. The company -- a unit of Textron Inc. -- also has 1,300 people working at its Independence facility.
