Apple makes progress on gender, racial diversity

Naming names: Apple paid Aus$74mil (RM230.11mil) tax on its Aus$247mil (RM768.09mil) taxable income, in line with the country's 30% tax rate but a small fraction of the total Aus$6.1bil (RM18.96bil) it made in Australia that year.

Apple Inc has made progress on boosting gender and racial diversity in its US workforce, a regulatory document filed by the iPhone maker showed. 

Several Silicon Valley companies have been criticised for the lack of diversity and have been facing increasing pressure to diversify their largely male, mostly white workforces.
