From article:

> The company announced in April it would cut 10% of its worldwide workforce of 160,000 by the end of 2020.

From boeing.com:

> The company employs approximately 145,000 employees across the United States and in more than 65 countries.

90% of 160 is 144. The math checks out.



That Boeing website you note may be referencing old data. Based on their 2019 annual report, on page 18 under item 6, Boeing cites that they had a year-end workforce of 161,100 employees. The annual report is available here: https://investors.boeing.com/investors/financial-reports/def...

So, the article is roughly correct.
