Tips for Inclusion in the
Workplace, Hiring, and
Measuring Accessibility
Individuals with
disabilities compose
10.34% of the
total civilian, non-
institutionalized
population, but only
make up 5.63% of the
labor force. Within the
labor force, individuals
with a disability face a
higher unemployment
rate than individuals with
no reported disability,
11.86% and 4.82%,
respectively. (source: U.S.
