Apple has announced that the company spent $60 billion with 9,000 American component suppliers and companies in 2018, an increase of over 10% from the year before, supporting more than 450,000 jobs.

In a press release sent out today, Apple says that since 2011 the total number of jobs it has created and supported in the United States has more than tripled from almost 600,000 to 2 million across all 50 states.

Apple notes that the touch sensitive glass for iPhone and iPad is made by Corning at a 65-year-old facility in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Cincinnati Test Systems in Ohio designed a first-of-its-kind equipment to ensure iPhone is water resistant. And Broadcom in Fort Collins, Colorado, Qorvo in Hillsboro, Oregon and Skyworks in Woburn, Massachusetts, are all making wireless communication hardware that enables global connectivity.
