General Dynamics Electric Boat is set to recruit 8,000 workers in 2024, including 3,500 at its Quonset Point plant in Rhode Island. This recruitment drive follows a commitment from Congress for $1.9 billion in funding for the Virginia-class submarine program, increasing total funding to $2.7 billion.

The company currently employs 25,000 workers, with plans to replace some departing staff. The U.S. Navy aims to add two Virginia-class and one Columbia-class submarine each year, driving sustained workforce needs at Electric Boat.
