Apple Highlights U.S. Job Creation on Website

Apple has updated its website with a page focusing on U.S. job creation. Perhaps the most significant number listed is the claim that Apple has created over 2,000,000 U.S. jobs when counting its corporate employees, suppliers, and work supported by the App Store ecosystem.

Much of the information given on the site is extremely detailed, such as the state-by-state breakdown that includes the following data for each of the 50 states:

  • How many Apple employees work there;
  • How many App Store-related jobs are funded there (as seen in the image above);
  • The number of retail stores there;
  • The number of suppliers based there; and
  • A highlighting of App Store apps that were created there.

The data is fascinating and extensive, and worth checking out. Some of the interesting tidbits I learned about my home state of Texas are that it contains the second largest base of Apple corporate employees in the world, and that the indie game Reigns was developed here.
