He is a staggering idiot. The mfg jobs in Asia are low-skill, low-pay. Apple is a juggernaut at creation of jobs in the US and these are largely high-skill, high-pay. Here are a few numbers that Apple put out one year ago; these have been criticized by some as overly optimistic. Even if you cut them, 50%, it is still amazing job creation.
January 8, 2015
Number to the jobs it has created or supported in U.S: 1.03 million.
Applications designed for Apple’s smartphones and tablets have helped create more than 627,000 U.S. jobs.
334,000 jobs have resulted from its spending and growth.
66,000 people work directly for the company in the U.S.
“...an entire industry has been built around app design and development.†In 2013, customers spent more than $10 billion in the App Store
Tim Cook has worked in the past few years to boost U.S. manufacturing and open domestic data centers. Apple invested more than $100 million to begin Mac Pro assembly in Austin, Texas.
Apple has 265 retail stores in 44 states with a total of 30,000 employees [2014]. That’s compared with 250 stores and 26,000 retail workers in 2012.
It has 8,000 U.S.-based suppliers with materials coming from 31 states.
It spent more than $3 billion with U.S. suppliers running small or diverse businesses last year.
The last time Apple released its estimate for job creation, in 2012, it pegged the number at 598,500 in the U.S. The company reported having 50,250 U.S. jobs at the time.
I could see Trump really fouling everything up with his huge ego.
He’s already fouling things up. An opportunity to take the White House for conservatism, and he walks in an does a non-stop monologue, sucking all the air out of the room, making way for Hillary, Bernie, or himself. Each only a variation of liberalism.
What a narcisistic New York jerk.
Half the population of the USA has an IQ below 100. Maybe we should just kill them since they can no longer support themselves doing useful manufacturing work and the service sector has been overrun with illegals. /sarc
