Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO) issued the following statement after Boeing announced it will bring 700 new jobs to the St. Louis region to build parts for 777X commercial airliner. This move comes days after Boeing announced plans it would bring 500 new jobs to the St. Louis region to help build the F-22 Raptor:

"Today's announcement that Boeing will bring an additional 700 jobs to St. Louis is a testament to the people of this region and to the greatest skilled and high tech workers in the country," said Rep. Wagner. "This announcement will also have a multiplier effect for suppliers, and inject opportunity and new jobs for Missourians all over the state. I am extremely pleased that Boeing has decided to bring these jobs to the Show-Me-State, and I will continue to advocate for new jobs as your representative."
