“…These barriers include perceived negative employer attitudes towards hiring workers with disabilities, absence of or unreliable transportation to and from job sites, and fear of lacking the skills to compete successfully within the labour market 28. Other problems connected to job seeking include concerns about finding a job to match a person's skills, difficulties in balancing competing health issues and family responsibilities, as well as fear of losing government support benefits 30. These problems may then compound the adverse psychological effects and mental health effects associated with unemployment in the general population, which are believed to be brought about by a number of factors, such as loss of work role identity, financial stress and worry about effects on family 31.…”

“…This data set can also be used to study more specifically the experiences of Americans with disabilities, such as barriers to their employment. Loprest and Maag (2003) used the NHIS-D to study barriers to work among adults with disabilities. They showed that among work-oriented nonworking adults with disabilities who reported having encountered difficulties, 52.5% cited the lack of appropriate jobs available as the reason for difficulty.…”

Data on people with disabilities can be used to confirm service needs and to evaluate the resulting impact of services. Disability statistics from surveys and administrative records can play a meaningful role in such efforts. In this article, the authors describe the array of available data and statistics and their potential uses in rehabilitation service planning and evaluation. They discuss the 2000 Decennial Census Long Form, the American Community Survey, the National Health Information Survey, the National Health Information Survey on Disability, the Current Population Survey Annual Demographics Survey, the Survey of Income and Program Participation, and the Health and Retirement Survey, administrative records such as the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) 911 and the Social Security Administration (SSA) Title 2 and Title 16 records, and matched data such as linked RSA and SSA records. They also provide examples of applications of these data sets to rehabilitation service planning and evaluation, along with recommendations for rehabilitation education, practice, and research.

The early onset of disability (at birth through young adulthood) can affect a person's employment outcomes in myriad ways. In addition to the direct effect of disability on employment, early onset of disability likely affects the acquisition of education and job skills (human capital). This reduced "investment" in human capital in turn may reduce the individual's employment and earnings prospects throughout their lifetime. If this is the case, people with early onset of disability may be doubly disadvantaged when it comes to later employment prospects.
