“Apple said Thursday that it has eliminated any gender pay gaps globally and has also continued to increase the number of women and underrepresented minorities in its workforce over the past year,” Ina Fried reports for Axios.
“Half of all new hires are from underrepresented groups,” Fried reports, “according to a newly updated diversity Web site.”
“White and Asian men still make up the majority of Apple’s workforce,” Fried reports, “but the company has increased its diversity each of the last four years, both across the company and among its technical workers and leadership.”

MacDailyNews Take: Apple’s diversity webpages are here.
There is no gender wage gap in the United States.
A lot of people can’t handle the truth, huh, Thelonius?
American Enterprise Institute shill.
The REAL striking part of the headline, which is not covered in this biased video, is “GLOBALLY”.
Nice Apple. Spare us the propaganda and make Macs great again. I don’t care who makes them. I don’t care about their race, gender, religion or what fricking toothpaste they use as long as they are powerful modern machines receiving regular updates.
The DNC has done APPLE one better. They basically put out a notice that says no white men need apply for technology positions.
“The DNC… basically put out a notice that says no white men need apply for technology positions.”
Erm, WRONG:
“The email in question was not authorized by the DNC nor was it authorized by senior leadership. All hiring decisions at the DNC are made consistent with the DNC’s commitment to equal employment opportunity and hiring an inclusive and talented staff that reflects the coalition of the Democratic Party, because our diversity is our greatest strength.” – DNC National Press Secretary Michael Tyler
Got anything else, asshole?
I love how all the regressive trolls on this site eat up your leftist bullshit, RR. It may not have gone through all the channels, but it was put out by the DNC. Was this employee fired? If so, provide a link please. If not, then that’s all the information we need to know.
And “our diversity is our greatest strength” pretty much says the exact same thing as the “unauthorized” email, just in less overt tones.
Other than the fact that the DNC is a f’ing joke, nope!
Holy shit generally stuff like this is fake news, but according to Snopes.com this email actually happened.

The DNC says:
“The email in question was not authorized by the DNC nor was it authorized by senior leadership. All hiring decisions at the DNC are made consistent with the DNC’s commitment to equal employment opportunity and hiring an inclusive and talented staff that reflects the coalition of the Democratic Party, because our diversity is our greatest strength.”
This is why Trump won. Until we get past the idea that because SOME men have power, therefore ALL men have all power at all times, the democrats continued run to the left is going to be a disaster.
So.. apple was violating the law? Because for many years, it is ilegal to pay differently based in gender, religion or race. As per hour basis, it is ILEGAL to make any differentiation based on any of those factors.
So Apple is just catching up? or is this one of those Tim Cook’s sjw moves?
GO AND BE AN APPLE CEO! Honor Steve Jobs who made you rich and powerful. If you want to became politician, get a new CEO and be what you want to be and don’t drag apple into your garbage talks.
Ok, troy and theloniousmac,
You have made it perfectly clear that you don’t give a flip how Apple treats its employees. My bet is that Apple employees—including the employees who aren’t white male geeks from Stanford—do care, and that their perception of whether they are being treated fairly directly affects their loyalty to the company. That, in turn, affects their productivity.
Tim Cook thinks that promoting employee loyalty IS a part of his job. You disagree. Apple does not believe that exploiting its employees will get you better products cheaper and faster. You disagree. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but try not to express it so offensively.
“including the employees who aren’t white male geeks”
You could make your gender bigotry and racism less overt and obvious. But then why bother, it’s 2017, its all the rage now to let all your hatred and intolerance be known.
We should be hiring based on merit, not race, gender, creed or culture. Who says the same % of women in the population want to be engineers? Should the NBA hire to match the population?
Yes.
“Merit Based”
Why does the entitlement generation not agree with a “Merit Based” system? What gives Millennials the right to preach to me about dedication and hard work, let alone experience…. ???? WTF is WRONG with these popcorn generations? iWorked for Apple Computer Inc. in the early nineties. IT IS CALLED “WORK”! and MOVING THE HUMAN RACE AHEAD A STEP! A+ players. HELLO! Lead, Follow or GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY! If you do not like it GET THE FCK OUT. ENOUGH.
Now STOP YOUR COLLECTIVE WHINING AND GET TO FCKIN’ WORK!
Very Truly Yours,
AAPL Shareholder. since LONG ago.
Good for Apple, hopefully they will lead the way for their home nation, currently in 45 place.
Meanwhile the best nations for minimizing the gender gap are Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and surprisingly Rwanda.

Apple claims it has followed the law in hiring and salaries. Very good, Apple, we are all very impressed that you followed the law and performed to these minimal expectations. Your status remains, as always, fully intact.
So how the little enterprises will find talent minorities in this recruiting world war? This is a Lie. A comunist Lie.
About f*cking time Apple did the right thing. Apple should be congratulated, it took ’em long enough.
