Apple, Intel cite gains in hiring women and minorities

From PCWorld: Apple and Intel are both making progress in their efforts to hire more women and minorities, according to figures released by the companies this week.

In the first six months of the year, more than 43 percent of Intel’s hires in the U.S. were women and minorities, up from 32 percent at the end of 2014, the company reported in its first mid-year diversity report.

At 43 percent, Intel said it was surpassing the 40 percent diversity hiring goal it set for itself for the full year.

Apple, meanwhile, boosted its hiring of women by 65 percent globally over the past year, to 11,000, the company said in its second annual report.

Apple made gains particularly in the U.S., where nearly half of its hires since January were women, black, Hispanic, or Native American, the company said.
