Apple has released new findings that it will support nearly 2.4 million jobs in the United States and be ready to make a direct contribution of 350 billion pounds to the US economy by 2023.
Apple says it is dealing, throughout its supply chain, with 9,000 US suppliers, spending € 60 billion and creating 450,000 jobs.
In addition to its financial contribution, the company claims to present innovation and quality standards due to its high demands.
Jobs at Apple US
The Cupertino-based company employs 90,000 people in 50 states, a number that covers managerial, retail and engineering positions. Apple plans to create an additional 20,000 jobs in the next four years, including through the expansion of its campuses in San Diego and Seattle.
The rest of the jobs cited are in the app economy, which Apple says accounts for 1.9 million jobs, an increase of 325,000 in the past two and a half years.
The statistics are not only good public relations for Apple, but also a timely reminder to the US government of the possible economic impact of tariffs on Chinese manufactured goods.
Devices like the iPhone have "a back designed by Apple California, assembled in China," meaning the cost of the Cupertino-based company's products would be affected by the introduction of tariffs.
Trump set several tariffs last September. Apple breathed a sigh of relief after its biggest products were banned.
Apple has voiced its opposition to the new fees. In its communication to the government, Apple said that, as the largest private contributor in the United States, all fees would reduce the company's contribution to the United States Treasury and give to its rivals, most of whom are not in the United States. United States: an advantage in the global market. .
In any case, Apple would seek to relocate part of its production to China. She believes the current risks of being so dependent on one country are too great and she wants to diversify her supply chain.
Apple's presence in China would have created more than five million jobs.
