In 2022, 21.3 percent of persons with a disability were employed compared to 65.4 of people without disabilities.
Across all age groups, people with disabilities are much less likely to be employed than those with no disability. The unemployment rate for persons with a disability is almost twice as high as the rate for persons without a disability, and people with disabilities are more likely to be employed only part time.
In addition, nearly 8 in 10 people with a disability are not in the labor force at all (neither working nor unemployed) compared with about 3 in 10 of those with no disability.
The impacts of employment are "bi-directional': employment and income have a direct impact on life expectancy, quality of life, and health care costs; medical health has a direct impact on employability.
Join us to learn more about employment, disability, and the resources available to support the employment of people with disabilities in Ohio.
