Stupid article by an Apple-hating “reporter”. There is some truth to Apple’s claim of creating many secondary jobs. Think of the support staff for Apple products in schools. Then there’s Starbucks - lots of barristas employed because of all the Apple owners flocking there for the wi-fi access and caffiene. My older daughter used to be a barrista and superviser at a Starbucks, she made huge tips from the customers with Apple laptops. She then worked at a publishing firm, all Apples there. Now at a biotech firm, lots of Apples and iPhones - many jobs indirectly created by Apple.
I think you're stretching, don't you? Did they drive Honda sedans? Maybe Honda is a secondary creator of those jobs?
