It’s time for us to use our favorite headache-inducing gif again as Apple has released its latest set of diversity figures, showing how Apple’s push toward a more representative diverse company is coming along.
The results? That white males continue to dominate the upper ranks of the company, but further down the ladder things are changing much faster — and 54 percent of new hires in the U.S. come from minority backgrounds.

“We want Apple to be a reflection of the world around us,” the company states. “These numbers show our progress and represent our ongoing commitment to greater inclusion and diversity.”
Among its top 107 executives, 73 are white males, with the additional spots filled by 20 women, of whom 15 are white; 2 Hispanic or Latino employees; 14 Asian employees; and 3 black or African-American employees.
In middle management roles, 48 percent are held by white males, 18 percent by white females, 23 percent by Asian employees, 7 percent Hispanic or Latino, 4 percent black or African-American, and 1 percent multiracial.
Whether Apple will ever be able to reach its desired goal of having a wholly representative company remains to be seen, but this is one of the areas Tim Cook has been keen to promote during his time at Apple.
For more information on the company’s success in this area so far, you can check out its dedicated Diversity page, which also shares the personal story of some of its employees, as well as its stance on pay equity among men and women.
