Occupational Differences in Need for People With Disabilities (Recruitment Concern #3)

People with disabilities have concerns about attributes of the job conflicting with their federal disability benefits. Many hold preference for government positions over private companies due to better perceived benefits and inclusive practices. They are even encouraged by Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act encourages to look for jobs offered by federal contractors and subcontractors. Employees with disabilities benefit from flexible work arrangements, which is the most accommodation needed, and are more likely to be involved with part time or contingent work.
