Jacobs Engineering Group is celebrating their 70th anniversary. The team is looking towards the future and the potential infrastructure bill that could be passing sometime this month or next. JEC explains why this bill is necessary and what impact it would have on the U.S. as a whole.
Steve Demetriou is the Chairman and CEO of Jacobs Engineering Group. Demetriou explains that the infrastructure bill is well overdue. The train, road, and other systems are in need of major improvements. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, the U.S. needs to invest more than $4.5 trillion by 2025 just to bring our nation's infrastructure up to "adequate" standards.
Passing the infrastructure bill could require initiatives like hiking the gas tax.

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
