hcps-gerkinwm on 02 Feb 15"About 28 percent of working-age adults with intellectual disabilities have never held a job. Even those who do find jobs often end up working only part time and get lower pay than workers without disabilities, the study found. On the positive side, 62 percent of disabled people who work in a competitive setting have been there three years or more, showing they can work and stay with it." This article talks about how the disabled have a small chance at getting a job. The article states that 28% of disabled people never hold jobs because people don't give opportunities to people with disabilities.
