So let me quote directly from Forbes magazine here. As of end of 2013, Apple was directly employing 70,000 people, 47,000 of which worked in the U.S. So American workers represent 67% of the total Apple workforce. Which surprised even me because Apple has such an international presence. With huge Apple markets in Asia, China and Europe, it stands to reason that Apple would have a lot of their people working abroad.

The question asked was:

What percentage of Apple's workforce, direct and contracted, are US citizens?

I have no idea. But I can tell you that any American graduating from a major school with an engineering degree is being snapped up by the high tech industry, and not just Apple. We can’t mint engineers here fast enough.
