Request updating facts about Jacobs Engineering group

[edit]

Note: I have a conflict of interest in that I work in Corporate Communications for Jacobs Engineering. However, out of date facts about the company in our Wikipedia article have been brought to our attention by a number of employees.

as of 2014 had 53,500 employees globally.[7] Jacobs has roughly 200 offices in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Africa, and Asia.[7] In 2014 it was on the Forbes list of America's 100 Most Trustworthy Companies.[8]

Revised - as of March, 2015 had 59,900 employees globally. [1]

Jacobs has more than 250 offices in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Africa, and Asia.

In 2015 it was on the Forbes list of America's 100 Most Trustworthy Companies [3]

Any information posted publicly would have to be issued by the company.

The number of offices listed on our website is the most up to date information on locations that we consider offices - currently 288 - but we prefer not to give a specific number as it may change monthly up or down..

Hi Dan. I have updated the stats on offices and employees. Jacobs Engineering was not on the 2016 Forbes list; furthermore, the sentence in the article claiming Jacobs Engineering was on the 2014 list actually linked to the 2010 list instead of the 2014 list. Hence, I have removed that sentence entirely as it is out of date. Altamel (talk) 21:08, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removing "needs additional citations for verification" template

[edit]

This is a skimpy little article about a major corporation. It has 12 citations which need to be reformatted but verify the info. As noted above, some may be outdated, but they were true. Jacobs has a 5-star rating on the S&P 500. Maybe it needs a template about updating, but not about verifying. Imho. So I'm removing it. YoPienso (talk) 07:41, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Locus Engineering Investiment

[edit]

I have added a citation needed tag to the final paragraph regarding Jacobs' investment in Locus Engineering as I cannot find any evidence on either Jacobs', Locus' or generally online to back up this claim.
