Seventh-generation members Jesse and Nate Wiley work in the company’s Professional/Trade and Scientific, Technical, Medical, and Scholarly businesses, respectively.
Wiley has been publicly owned since 1962, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1995; its stock is traded under the symbols NYSE: JWA and NYSE: JWB.
Wiley’s operations are organized into three business divisions: Scientific, Technical, Medical, and Scholarly (STMS), also known as Wiley-Blackwell; Professional/Trade; and Global Education. The company has approximately 5,000 employees worldwide, with headquarters in Hoboken, New Jersey, since 2002.
