The Impact of Working From Home on Disability Employment
• The rise of working from home (WFH) post-pandemic has significantly boosted employment for individuals with disabilities.
• In the US, WFH has increased full-time disability employment by over a quarter of a million people, with potential for much larger gains.
• Before the pandemic, disability employment rates were remarkably low, but WFH has created new opportunities by eliminating commuting and offering better working conditions.
• Research suggests that approximately 75% of the increase in full-time employment among people with physical disabilities post-COVID can be explained by the increase in WFH.
• The shift towards WFH benefits both disabled individuals by creating more work opportunities and society by driving economic growth.
