Working With Disabilities

PROMOTE TRANSITIONAL EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ................. Unemployment of adults with developmental disabilities who are eligible for regional center funded services is at 84% .............. California ranks 34th in the employment of persons with disabilities................

 "California ranks 34th in the employment of persons with disabilities"

 

Gee, those statistics really suck, don't they, Mac?  And for the most prosperous state in the country and being the 7th largest economy in the world, surpassing other nations, it's a wonder and a shame that California isn't way up at the top in disability awareness and sensitivity. 

Can't say much for quality of public education either.   Ranks horribly.  It was either Catholic school or private school.

 I wonder how they are figuring the percentage to compare it to the other states.  If it is the number of disabled people working in that state divided by the total number of disabled people in the state that might not be that low since there are so many people in California.  But if they are just comparing the number of disabled people working to each state then they really have a problem.

 

So is there a list of how the different states ranked?  I wounder who was at the top?
