Mr. Jobs was not an economist and never claimed to be. He was the CEO of a company in the centre of the issue being discussed, and he gave his anecdotal opinion as someone with a clearly expert knowledge of the situation.

The Internet is a bitch. If an economist stands up and says “This is the case with tech jobs,” he’ll be shouted down as an academic with no real-world experience in the tech sector. If an expert in the tech sector stands up and says “This is the case with tech jobs,” he will be shouted down for lacking the academic credentials to offer an opinion.

Tough room.

They know the jobs aren't coming here. We know it. So why do they try and distract us with this fluffy propaganda? Apple thinks we're all stupid. As long as their share price keeps climbing they'll keep doing shit like this, and PROVE that we're all stupid.
