Apple released its first diversity report earlier this week, but while the company has more black and Hispanic employees than any other Silicon Valley company, the gender breakdown is overwhelmingly male.According to data from various company reports charted for us by Statista, women only hold between 10-20% of the tech-related jobs at tech companies. In companies like Google, Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook and LinkedIn, women account for about half of the non-tech jobs, and about one-third of the total workforce.
