`including an investment of $1 billion to build a new campus in
`North Austin. The company also announced plans to establish
`new sites in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City and expand in
`cities across the United States including Pittsburgh, New York and
`Boulder, Colorado over the next three years, with the potential for
`additional expansion elsewhere in the US over time.
`
`
`
`The announcement caps a year of continued job creation. Apple
`added 6,000 jobs to its American workforce in 2018 and now
`employs 90,000 people in all 50 states. As announced in January,
`the company is on track to create 20,000 jobs in the US by 2023.
`In 16 states, Apple today employs over 1,000 people.
`
`“Apple is proud to bring new investment, jobs and opportunity to
`cities across the United States and to significantly deepen our
`quarter-century partnership with the city and people of Austin,”
`said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Talent, creativity and tomorrow’s
`breakthrough ideas aren’t limited by region or zip code, and, with

`this new expansion, we’re redoubling our commitment to
`cultivating the high-tech sector and workforce nationwide.”
`
`
`
`Austin Campus
`Apple’s newest Austin campus will be located less than a mile
`from its existing facilities. The 133-acre campus will initially
`accommodate 5,000 additional employees, with the capacity to
`grow to 15,000, and is expected to make Apple the largest private
`employer in Austin.
`
`“Apple is among the world’s most innovative companies and an
`avid creator of jobs in Texas and across the country,” said Texas
`Governor Greg Abbott. “Their decision to expand operations in
`our state is a testament to the high-quality workforce and
`unmatched economic environment that Texas offers. I thank Apple
`for this tremendous investment in Texas, and I look forward to

`building upon our strong partnership to create an even brighter
`future for the Lone Star State.”
`
`Jobs created at the new campus will include a broad range of
`functions including engineering, R&D, operations, finance, sales
`and customer support. At 6,200 people, Austin already represents
`the largest population of Apple employees outside Cupertino.
`
`The company's current facilities in Austin accommodate 6,200 staff, marking Apple's
`largest presence of employees outside of Cupertino.
`
`
`
`“Apple has been a vital part of the Austin community for a quarter
`century, and we are thrilled that they are deepening their
`investment in our people and the city we love,” said Austin Mayor
`Steve Adler. “Apple and Austin share a creative spark and a
`commitment to getting big things done. We share their
`commitment to diversity and inclusion. We’re excited they are
`bringing more middle-skilled jobs to the area. And we’re
`particularly gratified by their commitment to providing a great
`place to work for a large and growing number of America's
`veterans.”
`
`“Apple is truly a part of our Texas family,” said Williamson County
`Director of Administration Rebecca Clemons. “Apple’s vision on
`innovation, quality and simplicity align with the values here in
`Williamson County. We are both committed to continued job
`creation and outstanding quality of life. This new expansion is a
`perfect example of the astounding growth and opportunity that are
`possible when a company and a community work together.”
`
`The new campus will include 50 acres of preserved open space
`and, like all Apple facilities worldwide, its workspaces will be

`
`Nationwide Growth
`Apple plans to grow its employee base in regions across the
`United States over the next three years, expanding to over 1,000
`employees in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City each, and
`adding hundreds of new jobs in Pittsburgh, New York, Boulder,
`Boston and Portland, Oregon. The company recently opened its
`newest office in Nashville, Tennessee and Apple’s Miami office is
`projected to double in size.
`
`Appleʼs data center in Reno, Nevada, is one of several US data centers the company is
`expanding over the next five years.
`
`
`
`Apple plans to invest $10 billion in US data centers over the next
`five years, including $4.5 billion this year and next. Apple’s data
`centers in North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada are currently being
`expanded. In Iowa, preparations are underway for the company’s
`newest data center in Waukee. All of the company’s data centers
`are run on 100 percent renewable energy.
`
`Appleʼs Job Creation
`Apple is already responsible for creating and supporting more
`than 2 million jobs in all 50 states, including workers at 9,000
`suppliers and manufacturers in the US. The booming App Store

`ecosystem is responsible for more than 1.5 million American jobs,
`bringing growth and opportunity from Atlanta to Anchorage,
`Alaska.
`
`
`
`Apple’s job creation efforts span a wide range of roles — from
`advanced design, engineering and research, to the most
`innovative retail, operations and customer support functions in the
`world. Apple operates retail stores in 44 states plus the District of
`Columbia, and has added 7,000 US retail jobs over the past five
`years. Apple plans to add more stores and reimagine the
`customer experience at many existing retail locations across the
`country.
