The pledge by Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to invest in making Mac computers in the U.S. will probably create about 200 jobs if he follows the pattern of companies such as Lenovo Group Ltd. and LG Chem Ltd.
The investment plan, unveiled by Cook on Dec. 6, marks a reversal for Apple, which made and assembled many products in the U.S. until the late 1990s. It shifted manufacturing to Asia to take advantage of the region’s expanding industrial base and lower labor costs.
