Those avionics assembly people can go to work in the tech companies....doing what?

  They’re not going to be working at Amazon but likely smaller companies building parts for the aircraft industry supply chain. I think what the parent poster meant was that the lay-offs won’t wipe Seattle’s tax base out because they’re a proportionally smaller part of Seattle’s workforce than steel workers would have been in Pittsburg in the 70s.

    Those companies now are largely in low cost of labor areas not near Seattle.
