It's often companies with retail outlets that are willing to provide this data - I suspect a lot of the diversity comes from the people that work at retail Apple stores.
In a way, it is similar to how the government operates - the diversity of people who call the shots is very different than the diversity of people in DMV or SSA offices, but overall it gives the impression that things are diverse.

- dublinben 12y agoIf their "tech" and "non-tech" categories are what they sound like, then you're right. Their "tech" category is still 80% male, and 54% + 23% white plus Asian. For such a hip company, they look just as bad as their competitors.
- TheHypnotist 12y agoSerious Question(s): How does this make them look bad? Is it unfair to think that this happens to be because of the demographic of people interested and qualified in "tech" positions? Or should we genuinely think these numbers are lopsided for some nefarious reasons? Edit: Un-Edited the Edit.
