Apple Inc. AAPL 0.31% said it would build a new campus and engineering hub in North Carolina as part of a series of investments planned in the U.S. over the next five years.
The technology giant said Monday the move would create at least 3,000 jobs in machine learning, artificial intelligence, software engineering and other fields in the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area. Those new jobs were part of a pledge to add 20,000 jobs in the U.S. by 2026.
Apple said it was on track to meet its 2018 goal to add 20,000 jobs in the U.S. by 2023.
In all, Apple said it planned to spend more than $430 billion through 2026 with U.S. suppliers, data-center investments, capital expenditures and dozens of Apple TV+ productions across 20 states. Part of the spending will also go toward next-generation silicon development and 5G technology, the company said.
Over the past three years, the company said it spent more than the $350 billion five-year target it had set in 2018.
