In a report on MSN, Apple earned over $400,000 in profit per employee, more than Goldman Sachs, Exxon Mobil or Google last year. As most of its plants are located over seas this shouldn't be a surprise. However what was a surprise is the apparent brashness of a Apple executives response when asked if they could bring some of that manufacturing back to the United States where Apple originated from. He was quoted as saying, "We sell iPhones in over a hundred countries," The Apple executive said. "We don't have an obligation to solve America's problems. Our only obligation is making the best product possible."
The report also detailed an alleged conversation between Steve Jobs and President Barack Obama during a benefit dinner. All of the Silicon Valley's top luminaries asked a question of the U.S. President. When it was Steve Jobs turn President Obama interrupted Mr. Jobs and asked, "What would it take to make iPhones in the United States?" and Mr. Jobs replied bluntly, "Those jobs aren't coming back." Now without knowing the entire context of the conversation it would be easy to vilify Mr. Jobs or even the Apple corporation. However what can be said with absolute certainty is Apple computers at one time were in fact made in America and now no longer are. Be it cheap labor or factories with more flexibility, Mr. Jobs helped create a company with a $400,000 dollar profit margin per employee and those jobs are not coming back to the U.S. any time soon.
