Lockheed Martin Corp. is laying off 540 employees in plane-making operations in Texas, Georgia and California.
The company said Monday it expected most of the affected workers to leave by year end.
Lockheed is trying to cut costs in response to pressure to limit defense spending.
A spokeswoman says 370 of the layoffs will be salaried executive and administrative jobs in Fort Worth, Texas. Another 115 will be in Marietta, Ga., and 55 in Palmdale, Calif.
