Kessler Foundation and University of New Hampshire Release June nTIDE
Report - Monthly Update
WEST ORANGE, NJ--(Marketwired - Jun 6, 2014) - The May jobs report reveals that
Americans with disabilities continue to be left out of the economy's job growth among
mostly positive news for people without disabilities, according to today's National Trends in
Disability Employment - Monthly Update (nTIDE), issued by Kessler Foundation and
University of New Hampshire's Institute on Disability (UNH-IOD). Efforts are underway to
support employment opportunities for job seekers with disabilities.
In the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Jobs Report released Friday, June 6, the employmentto-population ratio decreased from 27.2 percent in May 2013 to 25.8 percent in May 2014
(down 5.1 percent; 1.4 percentage points) for working-age people with disabilities. For
people without disabilities, the employment-to-population ratio increased from 70.8
percent in May 2013 to 71.7 percent in May 2014 (up 1.3 percent; 0.9 percentage points).

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).
According to May's jobs data, the percentage of people with disabilities looking for work
decreased, from 4.9 percent in May 2013 to 4.2 percent in May 2014 (down 14.3 percent; 0.7
percentage points). This percentage is the number of people looking for work divided by the
number of people in the total population multiplied by 100. For people without disabilities,
the percentage looking for work also declined from 5.4 percent in May 2013 to 4.5 percent
in May 2014 (down 17.3 percent; 0.9 percentage points).
"This morning's report shows mixed results for the overall economy but people with
disabilities continue to be left out of the recovery," according to John O'Neill, Ph.D., Kessler
Foundation's Director of Employment and Disability Research. "More action needs to be
taken to expand employment opportunities for this talented population as they continue the

disability employment statistics began a few years ago, and it will take some time for
seasonal trends to become evident."
