Cool Combination of the Day: Austin + Apple
The company will build a swank new tech campus in the city, bringing in 3,600 new jobs.
Apple will invest $304 million in a new Austin campus, more than doubling its workforce.
The company was lured to the Texas city by a $21 million grant from a state fund designed to attract high-tech companies. It's the biggest incentive the state has paid out so far. In exchange, Apple has agreed to add 3,600 employees over the next decade. The jobs will run the gamut from customer support and sales to accounting.
