Interesting set of pembacaaninfluence of technology gadgets in our lives along the line of the consequences for the United States economy based on high-tech companies like Google, Facebook or particularly marked in this case, Apple: the extent to which the state entrusted with the development of intensive companies from traditional industries are usually much less labor, and what the consequences of the face, especially a problem in the United States viewed with growing concern: unemployment (9% right now … do it if they see us!)

The article that caught my attention are:

“The clouds brought lightning Many high-tech employment centers but not beaten-down into the city”, in The Washington Post, to see the figures of the new data center in North Carolina Apple: More than one billion of investment, a large tract of land … but only fifty new jobs were created in one region of the country hardest hit by unemployment, with rates above 10.5%. From here, the tone of developing:
“The problem is the state in short: Apple’s big new data centers in North Carolina was created only 50 jobs” at Business Insider
“We do need more tech giants like Apple,” in the CPG
“The decline in Steve Jobs and America”, in The Economist

General look of the first economic course, but behind it the paradox of the developed world: more than sixty thousand direct jobs created by Apple not only in the United States, but spread all over the world, was added as many indirect jobs manufacturing jobs to countries with unit labor costs are low in China and Southeast Asia. But the numbers are what they are: between Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook together, talking about a total of 113,000 jobs, a third of one company, General Motors, has been on the payroll in 1980. If Mac, iPod, iPhone and Apple iPads manufactures should be produced in the United States when the price of American workers, almost no one will think to buy.

Creating wealth ¿? Definite. Millions of U.S. technology-based products and manufactured by a U.S. company that exported and used worldwide. A few weeks Expansion raises the comparison between Spain and South Korea, the economy similar in size and population favored the development and promotion of the technology industry, and now enjoy, which has become the sixth largest exporter of power world economic growth and an enviable unemployment is very low.

The dynamics of wealth creation is sometimes very complex. All local governments want to attract intense Apple’s technology investment tax incentives received $ 46 million to install its data centers in South Carolina, and no means an isolated case, but the norm. But instead, the wealth generated by these activities clearly related in the form of jobs, but in terms of variable diffuse and long-term picture is much more related to technological advances, interest in training in related work, became a major city in that sense, and able to attract companies other. No doubt, there are benefits, but do not have much to do with the pattern of wealth generation companies featuring traditional labor-intensive “whole life”.

In a global world, companies develop their R & D that has good access to their talents, their manufacture where they have access to low unit labor costs, and pay taxes where they offer better tax advantages. And each country focuses its position to compete in what you can or choose to compete, in the development of training, research and quality of life for low intellectual work paid manual workers, have aggressive tax benefits, or other similar factors. The ability to build the environment can crystallize some advantages – think of a few of them are very complex challenge – depending on several factors: the universities and research centers are able to attract talent and skilled workforce, high population growth to provide manual labor hand, policies fiscal can offer an advantage in an increasingly global environment variable … not as simple as possible and unambiguous.
