Philip Houska Apple's US employee base is slightly more diverse than last year, latest report shows EEO-1 about the company's employees. The iPhone maker continues to employ a majority of white men, but the proportion of women, dark-skinned workers and those from Central and South America has increased.
Dominance is maintained by white-skinned employees, whose share as of August last year was 83,5 percent. However, women work for Apple in the United States by a percentage point more than last year (from 29% to 30%), and black employees (from 8 to 8,6%) and people from Latin America (from 11,5, 11,7 to 83%). However, men also have a similarly dominant position as whites, who make up XNUMX percent.
Tim Cook, the company's chief executive, in August he declared, that it employed around 2014 women between 2015 and 11, a 000% increase over the previous year, and it's indicative of the fact that women are really making it big at top tech companies like Apple.
"The document (EEO-1) is publicly available, but it does not represent how we measure our development. The EEO-1 report has not kept pace with changes in industry or the American workforce over the past half century. We believe that the information we provide is a much more accurate reflection of how our diversity of employees is developing," says Apple regarding the mandatory report, in addition to which, however, it prefers to provide its own concept of data. These also apply to its employee structures worldwide.
Even though the EEO-1 report may not be completely accurate, it allows for a comparison of the American workforce across companies. Based on similar information from last year, the server performed The Verge survey and found that Apple employs far more Hispanic and Latino workers in the United States than any other technology company. As for the number of women in leadership positions, Twitter and Facebook have the largest percentage of women in leadership positions.
During Apple's annual shareholder meeting in February, the company's board refused to vote to increase diversity among executives and senior management. It defended that the change would be "excessively burdensome and not very important". In doing so, the board also pointed to continued efforts to increase diversity, notably a special education program for black students that specializes in providing Apple products to 114 schools with insufficient curriculum, as well as sponsoring the Grace Hopper Conference, which seeks advance women in technology.
Unreal. So now people are hired based on skin color and not ability? Or maybe in the past in Apple they racially rejected non-white candidates?! What kind of neo-leftist mores are these? As soon as anyone starts to deal with race and quotas and not ability, they are headed for discrimination, either you or they. Finally, we can see for ourselves where the world of the powerful is headed by the vision of the new left, not only in the EU.
So this is the dumbest thing Apple is trying to do in my opinion. Employ people according to physical proportions.
white-skinned men predominate... and that's why apple is so good... if dark-skinned women prevail, apple will NOT exist anymore... that's the reality. The company must and COUGH on the color of the skin, because it is only interested in profit ... what can I add. stuffing some stupid quotas into companies is unbelievable bullshit..
Or even according to the ČT fairy tale, the white color of the skin can be a defect.
And isn't that racism? Making statistics like this?
