Apple announces plan to build $1 billion campus in Texas
Apple will build a $1 billion campus in Austin, Texas, and establish smaller new locations in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, California, the company said Thursday. The tech giant based in Cupertino, California, says the new campus in Austin will start with 5,000 employees working in engineering, research and development, operations, finance, sales and customer support. It will be less than a mile from existing Apple facilities.
The other new locations will have more than 1,000 employees each.
Austin already is home to more than 6,000 Apple employees, representing the largest population of the company's workers outside of Apple's Cupertino headquarters, where most of its roughly 37,000 California employees work.
[...] The company also said it plans to expand in Pittsburgh, New York and Colorado over the next three years.

If you could bring a magic rock into your city that would bring jobs to the people, what would you pay for it?

Nothing, on the grounds that whoever is trying to sell me a magic job-creating rock is almost definitely lying about the merchandise.
