But it made the announcement now, amid the holidays, because it is legally required to inform the state by the end of the year of the local job cuts. The company has approximately 54,000 employees worldwide and the restructuring program will ultimately affect about 10 percent of that workforce.<more> JACOBS WINS EPCM CONTRACT FOR INDIAN PLANT U.S. services firm Jacobs Engineering Group has signed a contract to develop and build a paint plant in India on behalf of Asian Paints Ltd.
