>making it in america would only add $65 to the production cost of a single phone. I did read the article. I wasn't talking about total money to make an iPhone in the US; I was talking about total money to employ 200,000 workers. Sure we could make it in the US, but it wouldn't add anywhere near 200,000 workers. The OP was talking about employment value.
