Apple Releases Disappointing Employee Diversity Numbers

Apple released its diversity numbers for employees on Monday, according to Re/code.

Apple said that 70% of its employees are male and 30% are female globally.

The company only released ethnicity statistics for U.S. employees: 55% are white, 15% are Asian, and 7% are black.

Apple CEO Tim Cook told Re/code he sought to improve those figures with an eye towards greater diversity.

Apple's diversity report underscores a broader diversity issue in tech. Companies like Pinterest, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and Twitter have also recently disclosed disappointing employee diversity reports.
