This Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013, photo, shows the main entrance of the Lockheed Martin plant in Goodyear, Ariz. Lockheed Martin is cutting 4,000 jobs, about 3.5 percent of its workforce, as the defense contractor continues to look for ways to lower costs amid reduced government spending. The Bethesda, Md.-based Lockheed Martin Corp. said Thursday that it will close plants in Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas, as well as four buildings in a California campus, by mid-2015, eliminating 2,000 jobs.
