Apple's work force is mostly white and male, too

Apple CEO Tim Cook, holding a Mac Pro computer alongside employees in Austin, Texas, says he's "not satisfied" with employment diversity at the company. Apple

Apple's just about as white and as male as the other major tech companies in Silicon Valley, the company disclosed Tuesday in a diversity report.

Of Apple's 98,000 employees around the globe, including those in non-technical positions and those working at Apple Stores, 70 percent are male, the company said. Only 28 percent of Apple's global leadership team is female, and when it comes to tech positions, only 20 percent of Apple's worldwide workers are female.

Tech positions mostly refer to engineers while non-tech jobs refer to marketing and public relations, human resources, sales, and other roles not requiring traditional computer science skills or programming chops.

Apple didn't break down race globally but said 55 percent of all US employees are white. The second highest race/ethnicity for overall employees in the US is Asian at 15 percent. The percentage of white employees is similar for both tech and non-tech positions in the US but jumps to 64 percent for Apple's leadership team.

"As CEO, I'm not satisfied with the numbers on this page," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. "They're not new to us, and we've been working hard for quite some time to improve them. We are making progress, and we're committed to being as innovative in advancing diversity as we are in developing our products."

Cook has tried to inject more diversity in Apple's management during his time as CEO. He promoted Eddy Cue, a Cuban, to his role as senior vice president of Internet software and services in October 2012. Cook also named Angela Ahrendts, the former Burberry CEO, as Apple's head of online and in-store retail. In addition, he appointed Susan Wagner, a director at BlackRock, to Apple's board in place of long-running director Bill Campbell.

Apple declined to provide historical diversity information for comparison.
