Recruitment Concern #3: The Attractiveness of Job Openings to People With Disabilities

Biases such as the assumption that people with disabilities do not want challenging job, or worse, do not want to work at all can affect employment decisions. 80% of unemployed people with disabilities expressed the desire to work, which is no different to unemployed individuals without disabilities. People with disabilities also have the same work-related goals, including desire for income, societal contribution, and security as those without disabilities. They do differ in certain other employment and occupational aspects, but primarily out of need and not want.
