Lockheed Martin's Greenville Layoffs: 180 Jobs Slashed as Air Force Drops F-16 Contract
In a significant blow to Greenville, South Carolina, Lockheed Martin has announced plans to lay off 10% of its workforce at the local facility, affecting approximately 180 employees. This move follows the U.S. Air Force's decision not to renew a $900 million contract for F-16 maintenance. As the contract drew to a close in April 2025, affected workers will be offered outplacement services and career counseling to manage the transition. While Lockheed Martin's other operations continue, the layoffs cast a shadow over the Greenville community's economic landscape.
