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).
"This morning's report for the overall employment outlook of the country exceeded expectations," according
to John O'Neill, Ph.D., Kessler Foundation's Director of Employment and Disability Research. "However,
employment has decreased for people with disabilities, which shows the importance of developing strategies and supporting initiatives that expand job opportunities for this talented population."
Despite the data trends, much is being achieved through strategies aimed at opening up large numbers of

"The 'Maxing Out Diversity' project is just one example of how gains in disability employment can be made
through public-private partnerships," said Rodger DeRose, president and CEO of Kessler Foundation.
"Through collaboration, corporations are implementing successful initiatives that diversify their workplaces
and provide a high return on investment."

According to February's data, the percentage of people with disabilities looking for work increased, from 4.3

percent in February 2013 to 4.8 percent in February 2014 (up 11.6 percent; 0.5 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. "This is somewhat good news, in that many people with disabilities are staying engaged
in the labor market -- looking for work -- rather than leaving the labor market completely," according to Andrew Houtenville, Ph.D., UNH-IOD Associate Professor of Economics. In contrast, for people without disabilities, the percentage looking for work declined from 6.1 percent in February 2013 to 5.2 percent in February 2014 (down 14.3 percent; 0.9 percentage points).
In February 2014, among workers ages 16-64, the 3,804,000 workers with disabilities represented 2.8 percent of the total 136,100,000 workers in the U.S.
"The figures in the nTIDE are not seasonally adjusted," noted Dr. O'Neill. "The collection of disability employment statistics began a few years ago, and it will take some time for seasonal trends to become evident."
The next National Trends in Disability Employment - Monthly Update will be issued on Friday, April 4, 2014.
