OKLAHOMA CITY - The Boeing Co. told some Oklahoma City employees Friday they could be laid off in the next 60 days.

The aerospace company gave "a small number of employees" a 60-day notice of possible layoffs, the company said Friday.

Boeing did not disclose how many employees in Oklahoma City had received layoff notices. Redeployment to other programs within the company, retirements and attrition could change the number of eventual layoffs, said Jennifer Hogan, a spokeswoman for Boeing.

"We will provide transition assistance to the affected employees. While we pursue these specific reductions, we continue hiring for other positions," Boeing said in a statement. "All of our activities are intended to make Boeing more competitive and provide greater value to our customers.
