    Over the last week, Amazon has been resisting pressure from investors and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to show gender pay statistics. However, it has now relented and revealed that women are effectively paid the same (99.9 percent) as men. In addition, it found the minority salaries are on par with white staffers doing the same work. The company's diversity page shows that women make up 39 percent of the workforce, but hold just 24 percent of management positions. Those figures are above the norm for the technology industry, but well off the national average.
