Apple Inc. plans to employ 1,000 people in a new office in Culver City, the Cupertino-based tech giant announced Dec. 13.
The announcement comes almost a year after Apple agreed to lease a 128,000-square-foot building at 8777 Washington Blvd. in Culver City. The new space is expected to house Apple’s planned original content operations.
The Culver City news was part of a wide-ranging announcement of plans to build a $1 billion campus in Austin, Texas; open new offices in San Diego and Seattle; and expand offices in Pittsburgh, New York and Boulder, Colo., over the next three years.
The company said it added 6,000 jobs in the United States this year, bringing its total American workforce to 90,000 people in all 50 states. Apple plans to create 20,000 more U.S. jobs by 2023.
“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,” said Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook in a statement.
