Benefit programmes for disabled employees

Abstract

Looks at US programmes for enabling individual disabled workers to be included into the workforce as these, sometimes highly‐qualified, people have been overlooked by organizations. Further states that there are 30 million disabled US adults, of whom only 25 per cent are employed. Promotes various programmes which are beneficial to both disabled workers and employees. Concludes that if the USA could employ, or better use, more of the 23 million out of the 30 million disabled Americans, their contribution could be significant to the US economy.
