BAE - committed to UK jobs?
In 2000, BAE employed 52,600 people in the UK. By 2008 this had dropped to 32,800, with further reductions of 590, 1,116 and 642 being announced during 2009. Over the same period, BAE has radically expanded its operations in the US to position itself for contracts from its most important customer, the Pentagon.
Notes
- The number of employees is drawn from BAE reports, namely: Annual Reports (2007 & 2008), Corporate Responsibility Reports (2004-2006), Corporate Social Responsibility Reports (2002-2003), Corporate Social Responsibility Review 2001 and UK Community Review 2000.
- The figures do not include BAE's share of joint ventures (In 2008, total direct BAE employment was 92,600. When BAE's share of joint ventures is included, this rises to 106,400. However, BAE does not provide a breakdown of the location of joint venture jobs).
