Apple is on track to create 20,000 more jobs in the United States by 2023. That’s according to an announcement the tech company made today. Although 2023 is far away, another closer date is bringing thousands of jobs to Austin, Texas, as Apple invests 1-billion dollars to expand their operation in the Lone Star State.

“Apple is proud to bring new investment, jobs and opportunity to cities across the United States and to significantly deepen our quarter-century partnership with the city and people of Austin,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Talent, creativity and tomorrow’s breakthrough ideas aren’t limited by region or zip code, and, with this new expansion, we’re redoubling our commitment to cultivating the high-tech sector and workforce nationwide.”

The 1-billion dollar investment will go towards building a new campus less than a mile away from the current Austin campus. It will be on 133 acres of land, and will house 5,000 employees, but the new campus will grow in the coming years to 15,000 new employees. The Governor of Texas says Apple’s investment is changing lives.

“Apple is among the world’s most innovative companies and an avid creator of jobs in Texas and across the country,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott. “Their decision to expand operations in our state is a testament to the high-quality workforce and unmatched economic environment that Texas offers. I thank Apple for this tremendous investment in Texas, and I look forward to building upon our strong partnership to create an even brighter future for the Lone Star State.”

When it comes to the bigger picture of the company, Apple has 90,000 employees in the United States. And even more than that world wide. To reach their goal of 20,000 additional new jobs over the next few years, they are opening and expanding more campuses across the nation. You can expect to see an additional 1,000 Apple jobs in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City each, and hundreds of new jobs in Pittsburgh, New York, Boulder, Boston and Portland, Oregon.
