Ummm ... Swordmaker ... here’s a poster who has NEVER SEEN the numbers posted on these Apple threads ... about the HUMONGOUS number of people employed by Apple here in the good ole USA ...

That’s kinda hard to believe, since I’ve seen you post it many times. I guess it just goes to show you that no matter how many times these Apple-haters show up on these Apple threads, they just NEVER pay attention to the details that show how wrong they are ... LOL ...

Thanks for posting it ONCE AGAIN for about the 100th time!

[... it’s per Post #32 ...]

Just for review, here's the question that was asked:

What percentage of Apple's workforce, direct and contracted, are US citizens?

Waiting to see if the question that was asked gets answered, or if the answer is to some other question that wasn't asked.

Nah, he's seen them. He's a troll giving you a hard time. He's really not interested in seeing the numbers. It wouldn't make a iota of difference to post them. The fact is that Apple is an international business. It has a huge number of employees in the US. . . the vast majority of the US citizens. It has another smaller number of employees in other countries where it has a corporate presence where those employees will be citizens of those countries and also US citizens.

The others who manufacture some of Apple's products are not Apple employees at all. They are employees of the companies that are contracted to Apple to do that manufacturing. . . and these trolls lump them in under Apple's umbrella, assuming they are Apple employees and controlled by Apple.

Apple attempts to improve the working conditions for these contractor's employees as best they can by constructing their contracts to require that the employees be treated under certain pay rates and conditions. Apple has its own employees who monitor working conditions at all of its downline of suppliers for contract compliance. No other in the industry goes to that length to assure that workers are treated well. . . but Apple is the one attacked when a violation is found.
