The Aerospace Industries Association in conjunction with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers is holding a press conference Tuesday, October 25, on the devastating job losses that would result from budget cuts put in motion by this summer’s debt-ceiling deal. The event marks the release of an AIA-commissioned analysis conducted by Dr. Stephen S. Fuller of George Mason University and Economic Modeling Services, Inc. The study predicts dramatic job losses and a devastating economic impact that far outstrips any value from the cuts to defense contemplated under the Budget Control Act.
