If you were hoping for Apple to bring new jobs to the United States, your wish is about to come true.
Apple announced on Thursday that the company is building a new 133 acre, $1 billion, campus in Austin, Texas. The company also stated that it will build new spaces in Seattle, San Diego, and Culver City. Furthermore, it will expand its operations in cities such as Pittsburgh, New York and Boulder, Colorado over the next three years.
The Austin campus will be located less than a mile from its current Austin base and have an initial staff of 5,000 employees working there, with the capacity to eventually accommodate 15,000. Staff at the new facility will have jobs in engineering, R&D, operations, finance, sales, and customer support with Apple investing $1 billion into the project.
