Apple&#8217;s stock hit an all-time intraday high of $179.39 a share on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Bloomberg previously reported the news, citing anonymous sources.

The company said it will add $350 billion in support of the U.S. economy over the next five years, with contributions from a new campus, payments to suppliers, job creation, capital expenditures, and taxes on overseas cash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Apple has 84,000 U.S. employees, out of 123,000 full-time equivalent employees worldwide, as of September 2017.
