Boeing is “exceptionally favored by Uncle Sam” when it comes to U.S. government contract awards, grants and loan guarantees, according to a new report by Good Jobs First, which pushes for greater accountability in the use of government funding for industry. The aerospace and defense manufacturer also leads other large corporations in the combined receipt of federal grants and tax credits, federal loans and loan guarantees and state and local subsidies.
