The Latest in IT Security

By Christina Farr SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Apple Inc on Tuesday released a report on employee diversity, and its numbers are similar to those of other Silicon Valley companies, prompting Chief Executive Tim Cook to say there is still work to be done. The employee survey comes on the heels of recent reports from technology companies Google Inc and Twitter Inc, but it is unique in one significant way. It alone is accompanied by letter from a company CEO, in which Cook stresses the companys commitment to being innovative in advancing diversity. Blacks and Hispanics make up about 18 percent of Apples workforce, a ratio that is about triple of those of most other tech firms. Apple breaks down the numbers into three categories: leadership, technology and non-technology.
