General Dynamics and Bell Helicopter provide a third of the manufacturing jobs in Fort Worth. Boeing now plans to up its Seattle work force from 64,000 to 80,000, and there are delighted complaints about how this will put a real strain on the area's housing and school facilities. Lockheed is chiefly based in California, but its huge...
