Held
each October, Disability Employment Awareness Month is a national
campaign that raises awareness about disability employment issues. The
opportunity to earn a living and be self-supporting is a broadly held
goal by Americans. Work is a foundation of stability for individuals and
can give one’s life meaning and purpose. Unfortunately, the rate and
level of employment for people with disabilities is staggeringly low.
Labor force participation is 22% for people with disabilities as
compared to 69% for people without disabilities.
