Apple is planning to create 20,000 new jobs across the United States. This initiative will involve expanding teams focused on research and development (R&D), software development, custom silicon, hardware engineering, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The company is set to invest $500 billion in supplier partnerships, direct job creation, technological infrastructure, office spaces, data centers, and production over the next four years.
In the past five years, Apple has nearly doubled its spending on advanced R&D and aims to accelerate this growth further. Since 2020, Apple has reportedly contributed over $75 billion to the U.S. economy in taxes, with $19 billion paid just in the year 2024.
To bolster the manufacturing sector, Apple will double its Advanced Manufacturing Fund, which will be utilized to develop advanced technology in Texas. Tim Cook has announced that Apple plans to start producing servers—previously manufactured outside the U.S.—in Houston by the latter part of 2025. These energy-efficient Apple Intelligence servers will be built at a large facility covering about 250,000 square feet, which will create thousands of jobs, particularly for residents of the Houston area.
Additionally, Apple is increasing the capacity of its data centers in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada. The Apple Intelligence initiative will also expand to India and other regions around the world, offering localized English for India and Singapore, as well as support for other languages such as French, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
