Apple To Add 3600 Jobs At New $304 Million Campus In Austin

Posted by timothy on from the city-motto-is-less-humid-than-houston dept.

An anonymous reader links to a short note at Tech Newest, according to which "Apple Inc. plans to create a $304 million campus in Austin, Texas, which will add 3,600 jobs over the next decade, more than doubling its labourforce in the city. The Cupertino, California, customer device [maker] already employs thousands in Austin, whose tasks include handling customer issues and support."

    3600 is the number of actual Apple employees, not the economic impact. They didn't omit nothing, you wandered ino fantasy land.

    This looks alot like a typical over-hiring scenario. 5-10 yrs down the road (or less?) Apple will probably have equally large layoffs. I know it sounds improbably right now, but their meteoric rise is unsustainable. Business boom cycles don't last forever.
