I'd like to see the research supporting these numbers. I'm curious as to how they determine the number of jobs created via their app economy. Many of the jobs they list do not belong to them and they may actually play a small part in the job itself. Unless they own the transportation company they can't lay claim to the truck driver's job since he's probably delivering stuff for other companies at the same time. How did Apple create or support healthcare jobs? People working to build their stores is a short-term deal. Similar to the truck driver example, unless they own the construction company they can't take credit for the entire job. I'm not saying they cannot lay claim to a great deal of success because most of what they say is probably true. But unless they break the numbers down to realistic examples of jobs created and jobs supported then the numbers they provide is misleading. Especially when they just lump them all together into one big number that makes them look good.
