A Labor Force Profile of Persons with Disabilities.

This report provides an in-depth description of employment among persons with disabilities and makes comparisons to the general population, based on the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation. The analyses are based on three different definitions of disability (functional, work disabilty, and receipt of disability benefits). Different levels of functional disability are used. Various characteristics (i.e., education, health insurance coverage, income) are examined in great detail. Employment is analyzed first at a single point in time and then over the course of a year. Both full and part-time work are included in the analysis.
