Mexico to Get Raytheon Jobs From Witchita

Hundreds of Wichita jobs are going to Mexico. Raytheon announced a plan to outsource work. About 350 jobs at Raytheon Aircraft's Wire Harness Shop in Wichita are leaving town. They're going south of the border. Those are the jobs held by Raytheon employees who put together wire harness bundles for all the aircraft's electrical systems.

A Raytheon spokesman says the company is trying to return to profitability and says outsourcing work to cheaper suppliers is the only way left to become profitable again.
