Apple was founded in the year 1976 and revealed that it is now either directly or indirectly responsible for creating and supporting 24 lakh jobs up 20% from the 2 million the technology company estimated in 2017, across all 50 states in the US.
Apple is on pace to directly contribute $350 billion to the US economy by 2023, the iPhone maker added. The iPhone maker said its direct workforce grew from 80,000 to 90,000 in the 2-1/2 years since its last U.S. job estimate. But most of the estimated growth came from companies such as Broadcom Inc which make parts in the United States for Apple products and from third-party software developers making apps for Apple devices.
Apple has faced criticism, including from U.S. President Donald Trump, for contracting factories to assemble most of its products in China. Apple has countered that it spent $60 billion on products and services from U.S.-based suppliers in 2018 and plans to increase that to $350 billion by 2023. App-related jobs totaled 1.9 million, up by 325,000 from its previous estimate.
Apple said in December it would spend $1 billion to build a new campus in Austin, Texas, for up to 15,000 employees and that it was adding direct jobs in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, California.
