Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on May 25, 2018, by a state workforce office on behalf of
workers of Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., including workers
whose wages were reported under Jacobs Field Service North
America Inc., including on-site leased workers from Aerotek, Air
Energi/Airswiff, ASI, NES Global Talent LLC, Olympic, Peak
Technical Services, Inc., and PTS Staffing Solutions, Long
Beach, California ("Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc."). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
general engineering, procurement and construction/maintenance
services for the firm's West Coast operations.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner and workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country, and also acquired from a
foreign country, the supply of a service like or directly
competitive with the service supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at Jacobs
Engineering Group, Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Jacobs Engineering
Group, Inc., including workers whose wages were reported
through Jacobs Field Service North America Inc., including on-
site leased workers from Aerotek, Air Energi/Airswiff, ASI, NES
Global Talent LLC, Olympic, Peak Technical Services, Inc. and
PTS Staffing Solutions, Long Beach, California, who are engaged
in activities related to the supply of general engineering,
procurement and construction/maintenance services, meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., including
workers whose wages were reported under Jacobs Field
Service North America Inc., including on-site leased
workers from Aerotek, Air Energi/Airswiff, ASI, NES Global
Talent LLC, Olympic, Peak Technical Services, Inc., and PTS
Staffing Solutions, Long Beach, California, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
May 24, 2017, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 21st day of June 2018.
