Apple to Build 2nd Campus, Hire 20,000 in $350B Pledge
Apple is planning to build another corporate campus and hire 20,000 workers during the next five years as part of a $350 billion commitment to the U.S. economy.
The pledge announced Wednesday is an offshoot of the sweeping overhaul of the U.S. tax code championed by President Donald Trump and approved by Congress last month.
Besides dramatically lowering the standard corporate tax rate, the reforms offer a one-time break on cash being held overseas.
Apple plans to take advantage of that provision to bring back more than $250 billion in offshore cash, generating a tax bill of roughly $38 billion.
The Cupertino, California, company says it will announce the location of a second campus devoted to customer support later this year.
