Hampshire's Institute on Disability (UNH-IOD). The funding of innovative employment initiatives is helping to create jobs for people with disabilities.
In the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Jobs Report released Friday,
November 7, the employment-to-population ratio increased from
26.9 percent in October 2013 to 27.1 percent in October 2014 (up

0.7 percent; 0.2 percentage points) for working-age people with
disabilities. The employment-to-population ratio, a key indicator,
reflects the percentage of people who are working relative to the
total population (the number of people working divided by the
number of people in the total population multiplied by 100).
"Employment in the overall economy has been picking up for

quite a while now. However, this is the first positive sign for the
employment of people with disabilities that we have seen since
September 2013 -- just before the upheaval of the sequester if
you can remember that time," according to John O'Neill, Ph.D.,
Kessler Foundation's Director of Employment and Disability Research.

abilities is certainly positive news, but it is tempered by the news
that people with disabilities are continuing to leave the labor market and not actively looking for work," added Andrew Houtenville,
Ph.D., UNH-IOD Associate Professor of Economics.
With Veterans Day coming up next week, the focus is on employment issues for veterans with disabilities. In 2011, Kessler Foundation awarded a $30,000 Community Employment Grant to the
nonprofit G.I. Go Fund in Newark, N.J. The G.I. Go Fund reaches
out to veterans, including many with disabilities, to connect them
with resources, housing and employment. Kessler Foundation
worked with the G.I. Go Fund to develop a novel approach to expanding job opportunities. With the Foundation grant, the G.I. Go
Fund developed a program for work-at-home training and employment that resulted in jobs for 50 veterans with disabilities in
customer service positions at PSE&G, SetFocus and Johnson &
Johnson.
"When applying for the grant, we weren't thinking of a
work-at-home option," said Jack Fanous, executive director of the
G.I. Go Fund. "Kessler Foundation had the foresight to guide us
in that direction and we just executed their vision. The program
has been so successful that it has expanded to other cities and
Fortune 500 companies are adopting U.S.-based call centers
staffed by veterans with disabilities."
In October 2014, among workers ages 16-64, the 4,350,000
workers with disabilities represented 3.1 percent of the total of
139,816,000 workers in the U.S.
"The nTIDE data are not seasonally adjusted," noted Dr. O'Neill.
"Because the collection of disability employment statistics began
only a few years ago, it will take more time for seasonal trends to
become evident."
The next nTIDE will be issued on Friday, December 5, 2014.
NOTE: The statistics in the National Trends in Disability Employment - Update are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers,
but are NOT identical. They have been customized by the University of New Hampshire to efficiently combine the statistics for men
and women of working age (16 to 64).
nTIDE is funded, in part, by a grant from the National Institute on
Disability and Rehabilitation Research (H133B130015 &
H133B120005), and Kessler Foundation.
