Stereotypes held by employers include applicants lacking skills in general, with the stereotype content model showing the assumption that employees with disabilities are seen as high warmth but low competency and this not hirable. Large-scale government surveys on labor market characteristics such as the US 2006 General Social Survey reveal that there were no difference in people with disabilities and those without in terms of employability. Average differences that did emerge are attributed to levels of formal education, though unemployed individuals in both groups had relatively similar levels of educational attainment.
