Looks like no engineering jobs, but mostly technicians and assembly. This makes me think the launch cadence of 2019 is taking its toll.

- nickik 8y agoWhy? The whole point of reuse was that you dont need so many boosters for so many launches. The will keep building new once but they are no longer production constraint.
- shaklee3 8y agoBecause the types of jobs I mentioned are mostly for prepping the launch vehicle, the launch site, and all the logistics surrounding that. If they aren't launching nearly as many, then they don't need as many of these people. engineering still needs to be there to make the next rocket.
- dogma1138 8y agoCould also be due to the fact that they don’t seem to be going with the Falcon-Heavy model anymore but going straight to the BFR or w/e they end up calling it so they don’t need as many people on the assembly line? Considering their ramp up in 2018 it would be surprising if the amount of launches drops drastically in 2019 with no apparent reason.
