Apple releases its annual US workforce diversity report

Tech giant Apple has released its annual US workforce diversity report for 2015. The report, released by Apple to the US government this week, reflects new figures on the demographics of the company's US employees as of August 1, 2015.

The latest US workforce diversity report released by Apple shows that the company has made some small improvements to improve its workforce diversity in the country. However, the progress made by the company in increasing the overall share of employees from underrepresented background has been quite slow.

According to the figures shared by Apple in the latest report, 'white' employees comprise nearly 59.5 percent of the company's US workforce; underscoring a marginal decline from the 2014 figures of a 61.3 percent share of 'white' Apple employees in the country.

In addition, the report has also revealed that Asians now account for 17.4 percent of the Apple workforce in the US, marking an increase from 16.3 percent in 2014. The percentage share of African Americans has also increased slightly from 8 percent to 8.6 percent; while that of Latinos has increased from 11.5 percent to 11.7 percent.

Furthermore, going by the latest figures, women currently account for 30 percent of Apple's workforce in the US, increasing from 28.7 percent in 2014. However, the number of female managers in the company's US workforce has witnessed a decline from 27.7 percent to 27.1 percent over the last one year.
