Open positions are listed on the Apple Jobs site under the location "East Rutherford-NJ."East Rutherford isn't that large of a borough, so I'll leave the precise location up to you to figure out.

Apple Stores in the United States have been slow to expand in the United States as of late. That is partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, of course. The company has also been choosing to remodel or relocate stores that are older. It has also closed a couple of stores are opening new locations near current ones.

Thankfully, with any of those moves, the company has maintained its existing staff or offered to relocate retail employees to other stores in a nearby location.

It's currently unclear when Apple's new location in New Jersey will open to the public.
