Employment

Aerospace manufacturing provided 468,000 wage and salary jobs in 2002. The largest numbers of aerospace jobs were in Washington and California, although many also were located in Kansas, Texas, Connecticut, and Arizona.

Under the new North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), workers in research and development (R&D) establishments that are not part of a manufacturing facility are included in a separate industry-research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. However, due to the importance of R&D work to the aerospace manufacturing industry, aerospace-related R&D is discussed here even though a large proportion of aerospace-related R&D workers are not included in the employment data.
