Apple to invest $500bn in US, adding 20,000 jobs to the economy
Apple has become the latest business to adjust to Donald Trump’s trade policy after it announced plans to invest $500 billion in the US over the next four years.
The tech company said it would add 20,000 American jobs, mainly in research and development, over the course of the administration and announced direct hiring plans for 20 states.
The half-a- trillion-dollar investment will be spread across data centres, factories, corporate facilities, US supplier contracts, an “academy” in Detroit and Apple TV+ television shows.
Apple will also open a manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, to build servers for its artificial intelligence programme Apple Intelligence. The 250,000 sq ft factory is scheduled to open in 2026 and “will create thousands of jobs”, according to the company.
