Bob Jones (Texas businessman)
- Bob Jones (Texas businessman)
Robert E. Bob Jones is a Texas businessman. He is the former CEO of the National Center for Employment of the Disabled (NCED), which was based in El Paso, Texas. In late 2006 the Oregonian published articles alleging that Jones embezzled millions of dollars from NCED and, by extension, from the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Program, a United States federal program that helps blind and other severely disabled people. Under the management of the Jones Family Trust (JFT), NCED allegedly broke federal rules, by claiming as disabled, employees whose only disability ("disadvantage") was not being able to speak English (but being able to speak Spanish). NCED, a maker of chemical protective suits for soldiers, has since been reorganized as ReadyOne.
