The number of women working at Apple is dramatically higher than last year — jumping 65 percent from 2014 to 2015.

Apple strives to increase the diversity of its workforce and, although the majority of its employees are white and Asian men, the company is making significant efforts to include people from different backgrounds and make them feel welcome, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion.

"Great ideas push the world forward. And they can come from anywhere. At Apple, we rely on our employees' diverse backgrounds and perspectives to spark innovation. So we're hiring more inclusively, choosing partners who make diversity a priority, and creating opportunities for the next generation," Apple states.

Apple released a diversity report for the first time last year, detailing the demographics of its workforce, and the company is now back with an update. The latest diversity report from Apple shows what changed in this regard over the past year, and while some numbers remain largely the same, others are notably different.

More specifically, Apple's new report reveals that the company is 69 percent male and 72 percent of those male employees are white and Asian. This is not very different from 2014, when 70 percent the company's male employees were white and Asian.

When it comes to female employees, however, things are dramatically different. The company points out that it hired 11,000 women in the past year, making a 65 percent increase over the previous year. Apple further notes that it hired 2,200 black employees, marking an increase of 50 percent, as well as 2,700 Hispanic employees, marking an increase of 66 percent.

Moreover, Apple highlights that nearly half of its new hires over the six months of this year in the U.S. were women, Hispanic, black or Native American.

Apple pledges to keep working on expanding its recruiting efforts and diversifying its workforce even further, aiming to offer more opportunities to more groups that are underrepresented in the tech industry. The company is also making efforts to support education with various programs, but reckons it still has a lot more to do.
