Raytheon is No. 58 on the Fortune 500 list. The company has 600 facilities in 44 states and territories. As of August 2021, the Boston Business Journal reported that Raython was the 10th largest employer in Massachusetts, with 15,000 employees. The company has a total of approximately 180,000 employees. “It will have no effect on the number of employees in Massachusetts,” a spokesman wrote in an email to WCVB. “Raytheon Technologies currently employs over 450 vacancies in Massachusetts and will continue to invest in Massachusetts’ workforce and facilities.” “I spoke to Raytheon yesterday afternoon about this,” Governor Charlie Baker said. “They are the only major defense contractor in America that does not have headquarters somewhere in the greater DC area – so in some ways it is not a surprise. I do not think it will have any impact on their growth or their continued involvement here in the Commonwealth. . ” Raytheon and Connecticut-based United Technologies merged in 2020, creating a single company with four major business components: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon Intelligence & Space and Raytheon Missiles & Defense. “Each of the company’s four business units currently operates in Virginia , “said the company.
