SD, Austin, and Seattle are the big places for Apple expansion.
I couldn’t find stats for where all of Apples employees are located across the country, but I did find a job website that lists the number of current job postings for each of Apple’s locations in the US. Here are the locations and current job listings, and I put the big ones in bold:
Location Jobs Cupertino, CA 4672 Jobs
