Nitpick: 32 percent female; 37 percent was for new hires. More importantly: > Critics have pointed out that Apple is more diverse because a significant percentage of the company’s employee base are lower-paid workers in its retail stores, which Google and Facebook do not have. But Apple’s gains this year did not come exclusively from retail. There was a 1 percent increase for women and blacks in technical jobs. According to the actual report: http://www.apple.com/diversity/ http://www.apple.com/diversity/ They give a breakdown on gender globally and race within the US. For tech workers, the numbers are 23% female, 8% black, 8% Hispanic (national 17%) - and 27% Asian. The race stats are not terrible, but 23% female is pretty bad (though it might be better in the US).
