Yes it can mean anything really, could include the coffee and sandwich vans which the software developer buys her lunch from perhaps?

App Store Supports Over 830,000 Jobs in UK, Germany, and France, Says Apple

Actually both numbers are correct to the press release. The release claims 330,000 jobs in the UK but that "Germany and France [are] estimated to each host over 250,000 jobs." Therefore, the title and article text are both correct:
"Over 830,000 Jobs in UK, Germany, and France" (emphasis mine)
"more than 330,000 jobs in the U.K." (again emphasis mine)
When an org has enough money to pay itself out of any legal situation, the law is irrelevant. It becomes a game of numbers and not about doing the right thing.
The only feasible option to balance the power is regulation. I hope this kind of fallacious marketing, aka propaganda war style, just exposes why the App Store needs to be regulated.

So you do not think that any one should be able to express his or her opinions to legislators about upcoming legislation? That is all “lobbying”. Companies are groups of people (shareholders, employees and customers) and at various times and in various ways all have lobbied governments on behalf or against proposed legislation.
Nope not that way, simply because money is in the game, and lobbying outweighs public votes, and makes voting meaningless. Regardless if it’s USA, or the country I am, Germany, lobbying leads to corruption.
Thats what voting is for, but swapping between two parties over and over again won’t make it better. It’s like having to choose between pest or cholera. Corruption wins, FATALITY ...
Seriously though, what is this graphic? It's really unlike Apple to adopt such a trendy illustration style for marketing purposes. This is one people will be sharing on whatever the equivalent of social media is in 20 years to laugh at.
I'm not one for "If Steve Jobs were alive..." statements but I'm pretty sure that guy in the upper right with the Apple sitting next to him would've led to someone being yelled at.
I bet they use it because it's terribly easy and the non paid interns can churn this stuff out in no time.
Sorry, Apple (like almost every Tech company post-Black Swan) has no un-paid interns. I know as early as 2004 all their internships were paid (as I had several students with them), and I am pretty sure that was true since at least 1997 (when Steve Jobs return), as NeXT Computer, Inc. and Pixar both had all of its internships paid.
So your argument is that the only time the people should be able to influence legislators is at election time?
Lobbying is just the name for people (individually or in groups of interest - companies, their employees, unions, trade associations, parents’ groups, etc.) expressing their interest on legislation. Your view is that no one should be able to advocate for new legislation or argue that proposed legislation should be changed or modified?
Voting is only one part of a representative democracy (also known as a republic). Legislators need to be able to hear from people who their legislation will impact and about problems they encounter, otherwise they are working in a vacuum and things that are completely unworkable often get enacted.
Don’t most of the popular iOS apps also have an Android version as well?
Sounds more like Apple trying to abuse statistics to make themselves look good.
Besides, it is not because of the App Store that there are so many apps for iOS, it is because people who buy iPhone’s are typically people who spend more money (i read a study on this somewhere). So iPhone users are an interesting demographic for milking their money.

Well, looks like made by somebody that can't draw at all
But at least he can call himself an artist now, also somebody Apple does employ +1.
Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one.
Time to email Tim Cook & tell him there's a bug in the iPhone calculator again!
He’s gonna use the one on his iPad then. Oh, wait...
I think you are smart enough to understand my remark. On the other hand laws also change. When eventually people claim for regulation is a change in law case in case commerce (parameters), not because others are doing something illegal before the change. Much like the Australians did not a long time ago.
Change in the laws are quite common. Adding new ones, changing current ones, abandoning old ones ... every single year. The body of the law is as fluid as society, adapting as society changes, case in case as the commercial landscape change with technological developments.
When cars appeared there were no transit laws for cars. Cars could run freely anywhere as per the judgement of the driver ...

I am not expressing any opinion on the art itself, just correcting your misinformation.
it's one of those wild unprovable claims. basically they're lumping in any "job" that might touch Apple. For example, Big Bank 1 has an Apple App so therefore they have an Apple developer or two? lets just claim the whole company is supporting Apple!
In reality, Apple should be able to directly tell us how many employees they have in these countries. But that's NOT what they're choosing to share. They're making ab old claim that anyone who touches an Apple product is "indirectly supported by Apple"
it's just propaganda.
