Arizona governor Jan Brewer announced on Monday that Apple is expected to bring more than 2,000 jobs to the state when it opens up a new facility in Mesa in the near future. The facility is expected to create about 700 manufacturing jobs and 1,300 construction jobs. The company is partnering with GT Advanced Technologies, a mineral company that supplies components for consumer electronics, to supply some of the equipment for the facility. The partnership makes sense, since Apple has increased their usage of sapphire to make camera lens covers and fingerprint readers, among other uses.
