Which of these statistics makes you the angriest?

  • 91.6% of companies offer interview locations that are accessible.
  • 80.5% of companies offer accommodations for interviews.
  • 74% of companies offer job announcements that display nondiscrimination and equal opportunity policy statements.
  • 30.4% of companies offer an application process that is accessible to persons with disabilities.
  • 17.5% of companies actively recruit persons with disabilities.
  • 10.5% of companies have measurable goals for hiring persons with disabilities.
  • 4.2% of companies have a dedicated recruiter for recruiting people with disabilities.
  • 22.6% of companies say they currently employ at least one person with a disability.
  • 82.9% of companies say they offer voluntary and confidential self-disclosure.
  • 73.3% of companies offer stay at work and return to work programs.
  • 69.2% of companies offer workplace flexibility programs.
  • 64.7% of companies offer task shifting.
  • 59.6% of companies offer job reassignments.
  • 51.7% of companies offer disability awareness or sensitivity training.
  • 28.6% of companies offer measurable goals for retaining and advancing people with disabilities.
  • 4.7% of companies offer a disability employee resource or an affinity group.

For me its 17.5% of companies actively recruit persons with disabilities. 10.5% of companies have measurable goals for hiring persons with disabilities. Common! Only 17.5% actively recruit from our Community and only 10.5% have measurable goals to hire us.

My friends, above are the reasons why Abled Workers Unite is so important. Please, invite everyone you know who has a disability to our group so our group can have a voice that is listened to. With one loud voice, we cannot be ignored. Accessibility and Inclusion! we are not asking for a lot. Together We Can Make Effective Change! #disabilitly #AWU #togetherwecan

Westat, a research organization at the request of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Chief Evaluation Office compiled the following statistics concerning businesses and their recruitment of people with disabilities

According to an article on the Federal Bar Association's site 22.6% of companies say they currently employ at least one person with a disability. That tells us that businesses as a whole are not Inclusive. We still have a long way to go! This is exactly why Abled Workers Unite was formed. We need one voice to effect change #disability #jobs #togetherwecan

Here in the United States it has been about the power of the people to effect change. Abled Workers Unite when it grows to expectations can exert that power to demand Accessibility and Inclusion. There is power with one voice of many. Please share our group's message. Together we will make a difference. #AWU #togetherwecan

Hi group, Do you all know about state departments of vocational rehabilitation? What is it?

If you have a disability that makes employment hard for you, you may be eligible for services to help you prepare for, obtain, and maintain a job. Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) is a U.S. Department of Education funded program that provides these services in every state, territory, and many Indian Nations. Vocational Rehabilitation serves all disability groups

Hers is a link to all the state departments of vocational rehabilitation. https://www.csavr.org/stateagencydirectory
