Bot says "Cheers"

I've never heard Iowans, or Americans outside of the northeast, say "Cheers".

Largest employer

The article says "The city's "largest employer" was reported to be the national, broker/dealer services firm called Cambridge Investment Research, with about 400 local employees.[28]"

I will try to find a source for this, but the number of employees is about 800 to 900 as of 07/2021. Is a primary source, from the company, sufficient for this kind of info?

(Edited to add): https://www.joincambridge.com/about-cambridge/ says "home office associates 894"

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Basically per the above - I'd be okay with using it to update the number of employees, but the problem is that we know there's been enough time to double, but we don't know if it remains the largest employer, and that facet at least should be provided by a secondary source.

I'll let someone else close this request out, but my inclination is no, because the new source does not say it's the largest in the city (unless I missed something). Urve (talk) 18:53, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
