Little rise in disabled employment after ADA passage
Washington reports only a modest change in workforce participation by disabled people more than four years after the ADA. A National Organization on Disabilities survey finds 31 percent of disabled individuals aged 16 to 64 employed, down from 33 percent in 1986, with low SSI work participation at 5.8 percent last December. Advocates cite employer prejudice and fear of losing benefits as key barriers, alongside a lingering culture of dependency.
