Apple Says its Gender Pay Gap Has Been Eliminated in the US

Apple’s latest diversity report comes with a major improvement on the company’s side. Apple claims it has resolved its gender pay gap (limited to its US employees): woman at the world’s most valuable tech company are getting paid the same as men for similar roles. The report doesn’t talk about Canadian payments gaps.

During the past 12 months, Apple says it analyzed the total compensation for US employees and closed the gaps it found and it is now focusing on analyzing the salaries, bonuses and annual stock grants of all employees worldwide and promises to address the gaps it finds.

We’ve achieved pay equity in the United States for similar roles and performance. Women earn one dollar for every dollar male employees earn. And underrepresented minorities earn one dollar for every dollar white employees earn.
