Employment Rate for People with Disabilities – January 2012

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics has released disability employment statistics for January 2012 showing that the percentage of people with disabilities and the unemployment percentages:

January 2012
(Not seasonally adjusted)

Labor Force Participation

People with disabilities: 20.0%
People without disabilities: 68.9%

Unemployment Rate

People with disabilities: 12.9%
People without disabilities: 8.7%

The unemployment rate for people with disabilities has been steadily improving (it was 13.6% this time last year) but the number of unemployed is still disproportionately high, compared to persons without disabilities. And the number may be actually higher considering that many people with disabilities may have given up looking for work.
