Apple to open another corporate campus

Apple has announced plans to build a third U.S. corporate campus and hire 20,000 workers as part of a $30 billion capital-spending program over the next five years.

A location for the new campus has yet to be announced.

Apple’s new Foster + Partners-designed headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., known as Apple Park, opened last year.

And Apple, which recently completed a $5 billion construction project at its Cupertino campus, will now look to create 20,000 more jobs, covering both the current headquarters and the new one. Apple is already responsible for creating and supporting more than 2 million jobs across the United States.

The $30 billion investments will focus on the three areas where Apple believes it has had the biggest impact in creating jobs. These are direct employment at the company, spending and investments with domestic manufacturers and suppliers, and the app economy that Apple created with the iPhone and its App Store.
