A new study done by TechNet yields that there are currently about 466,000 jobs that are related to apps currently in the United States. This is pretty shocking when you contrast it to the zero jobs that were around before the Iphone and app store were introduced in 2007. Moreover, the app is economy is said to have generated almost $20 Billion in revenue in 2011. The study also gives a nice layout as to where the jobs are, and what they are for. Most are in California at this time, but other large metropolitan areas have seen a lot of activity as well.
This is great news for the world of apps, which is continuing to grow. Apple is currently counting down to 25 billion app downloads on its website. While more and more companies continue to use apps to get to their consumers, it will be interesting to see in the future if creating your own app becomes part of the game. Software could make it easy for someone to create and make their own app public, just as they can make their own blog or website on the internet.
