Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding Division has offered volunteered buyouts to more than 2,500 salaried employees deemed as "higher overhead costs." In a letter to its employees, Newport News Shipbuilding President Jennifer Boykin stressed that the builder was "still hiring, and will continue to hire primarily direct charging positions throughout 2019." She added, "Our business outlook is strong, and we are growing, and there is no better opportunity than now to improve our company structure and how we operate."
