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.

- 29% of Apple's leaders are women, up 1 percentage point from the prior year.
- Nearly two-thirds of its leaders are white, with 3% Black and 7% Hispanic
- 39% of its leaders under 30 are women.
- 32% of its global workforce are women
- 54% of its U.S. workforce is white, 21% Asian, 9% Black, 13% Hispanic, 3% multiracial
