Data Note: Disability And Occupation, Frank A. Smith, David Clark
Data Note Series, Institute for Community Inclusion
It is well-documented that people with disabilities have a significantly lower rate of employment than people without disabilities (36% versus 74% according to the 2006 American Community Survey (ACS).

Future analysis will address variation across disability groups.
