“…Working-age people with disabilities have significantly lower rates of employment than working-age people without disabilities (Houtenville and Ruiz, 2012). The reasons behind these differences are numerous (Burkhauser and Daly, 2011;She and Livermore, 2007), ranging from the degree of disability, to discrimination based on disability or other personal characteristics (Bennett, 2009;Bjelland et al, 2009;Carter, Austin, and Trainor, 2012;Featherstone, 2009;Meade et al, 2004;O'Hara, 2004;Stapleton and Erickson, 2004;Wilson, 2002), to the lack of appropriate support infrastructures to make jobs accessible to people with disabilities (Blank et al, 2008;Ownsworth and McKenna, 2004). The relatively high nonemployment among persons with severe disabilities may lead to more limited economic resources.…”
