Written by admin2 on November 2nd, 2009Filed under: Uncategorized
According to an article written by Heather Claybrook:
- People with disabilities are a “huge untapped workforce.”
- Only 50% of disabled Americans who want to work have a job.
- Many people with disabilities are actively looking for work—and have the skills employers are looking for.
- One of the greatest barriers is the perception that people with disabilities can’t do the job, when actually, in some fields, they are more than qualified and often bring a unique perspective to the job.
- People with disabilities often use a lot of technology in their everyday life. They’re actually very well-suited for working in the technology fields.
