how many jobs do they create oversea?

FoxConn has (apparently) about 920,000 employees. Assuming 1/3rd of them work only making Apple products then triple that number based upon the ancillary jobs supporting those employees (any sub manufacturing) like how Apple's website calculates I think it would end up being 920,000 people have jobs in China because of Apple.

1/3rd seems really high. FoxConn makes lots of other things besides Apple Products.

Besides, the disparity of labor costs makes it difficult to make a comparison between "number of Jobs"

But the employees labor 60 hours a week, you can essentially count them as 1.5 employees.
