Apple expects to invest over $30 billion in capital expenditures in the US over the next five years and create over 20,000 new jobs through hiring at existing campuses and opening a new one. Apple already employs 84,000 people in all 50 states.
The company plans to establish an Apple campus in a new location, which will initially house technical support for customers. The location of this new facility will be announced later in the year.

Apple recently released plans to invest $350 billion in the US economy and create 20,000 jobs over the next 5 years. The company is also planning on building a new campus at a currently unknown location. Adding to the suspense of Amazon's new headquarters, US cities will now have a chance at scoring either of these powerhouses.
Supporting American manufacturing innovation, Apple is also increasing the size of their Advanced Manufacturing Fund from $1 billion to $5 billion.
Renewable energy is also on the company's agenda. In keeping with all US Apple facilities, the recently announced new campus will also be powered entirely by green energy.

Should I upgrade to the iPhone 3G?
Cities should just tell these companies to fuck off. Unfortunately we live in capitalism and shit
Apparently the pressure from Trump has worked. At least it was one of his promises to bring Apple jobs back to the US so it doesn't sound like a coincidence.
Let's just hope they don't require 80+h work weeks like they do from the teens in Asia who assemble Apple products.
Apple is a business. Many people in the US lost confidence in them due to bad press etc. so now start a public relations offensive.
