Apple’s high-paying technology jobs are primarily filled by white and Asian men, just like its industry peers.

A breakdown released Tuesday by Apple Inc. showed 54 percent of the company’s technology jobs in the U.S. are handled by whites and another 23 percent by Asians.

Men make up 80 percent of Apple’s technology workforce throughout the world and 70 percent overall. 

Apple CEO Tim Cook expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of diversity in a letter posted alongside the data. He also highlighted the ways that the world’s most valuable company is trying to be more inclusive.

“Let me say up front: As CEO, I’m not satisfied with the numbers on this page,” wrote Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook in a blog post. “They’re not new to us, and we’ve been working hard for quite some time to improve them.”

Apple set up a website to publish its diversity report.

The scarcity of women, blacks and Latinos employed in computer programming and other technology jobs at Apple mirrors the situations previously disclosed at other major Silicon Valley companies such as Google Inc., Yahoo Inc. and Facebook Inc.

In the letter, Crook stressed hiring priorities.

“It includes personal qualities that usually go unmeasured, like sexual orientation, veteran status, and disabilities,” he wrote. “Who we are, where we come from, and what we’ve experienced influence the way we perceive issues and solve problems. We believe in celebrating that diversity and investing in it.”

Cook is a big advocate for gay rights as well. 

“inclusion and diversity have been a focus for me throughout my time at Apple, and they’re among my top priorities as CEO. I’m proud to work alongside the many senior executives we’ve hired and promoted in the past few years, including Eddy Cue and Angela Ahrendts, Lisa Jackson and Denise Young-Smith,” Cook wrote. “The talented leaders on my staff come from around the world, and they each bring a unique point of view based on their experience and heritage. And our board of directors is stronger than ever with the addition of Sue Wagner, who was elected in July.”
