Request updating facts about Jacobs Engineering group

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 However, out of date facts about the company in our Wikipedia article have been brought to our attention by a number of employees.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

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.

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 Hence, I have removed that sentence entirely as it is out of date.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

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 As noted above, some may be outdated, but they were true.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

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.
