Apple Settles Hiring Discrimination Case for $25 Million

Apple has agreed to pay up to $25 million to settle claims of hiring discrimination. The Department of Justice found that Apple violated the Immigration and Nationality Act by not advertising job openings on its website and not considering certain applications from existing employees. Apple denies engaging in illegal practices and has implemented a remediation plan. The settlement requires Apple to conduct more expansive recruitment for all positions and post job openings on its website. The DOJ also filed a hiring discrimination lawsuit against SpaceX, which managed to block the case.
