DESCRIPTION:
National Disability Employment Awareness Month was created via Presidential proclamation in 2011 within the US and in Canada in 2015.
More than 20 years after the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals with disabilities, including injured veterans, are making immeasurable contributions to workplaces across our country. Unfortunately, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities remains too high -- nearly double the rate of people without disabilities -- and reversing this trend is crucial.
Canada lags behind the United States with disability initiatives but 16% of our working population is living with a disability.
Public and private sector employers are urged to use this month to focus on ways in which to increase employment opportunities for Americans with disabilities, in addition to making sure their workplace remains accessible and disability friendly.
