The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability Statistics and Demographics (StatsRRTC) compiles annual data from various federal agencies relating to persons with disabilities. It found that the employment rate of working age people with disabilities in the US was 32.6 percent while the employment rate of working age people without disabilities in the US was 72.8 (StatsRRTC, 2011). This 40 percent discrepancy indicates a problem regarding the ability of individuals with disabilities to gain and maintain employment.
