Has the Employment Rate of People with Disabilities Declined? Policy Brief available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A major debate has begun over reports of an unprecedented decline in the employment rate of working-age people with disabilities by those using currently available data sources to track the health employment and economic well-being of the United States population. Many question whether the decline is real, and some have even called on the Federal government to end its financial support for the dissemination of employment estimates for people with disabilities using currently available data. In this policy brief we summarize the arguments and evidence on the issue, and reflect on the importance of the issue for the ongoing debate on disability policy. We conclude that the decline is real and it has important implications for public policy.

The Decline in the Employment Rate for People with Disabilities available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A major debate has begun over reports of an unprecedented decline in the employment of working age people with disabilities over the 1990s business cycle. Here we review the literature on what can and cannot be said with current data on this subject and conclude that this decline is not an artifact of the data. We then review the various explanations and evidence for this decline and conclude that it was caused by changes in social policy rather than increases in the severity of the underlying health conditions and impairments of this population. The implication is that significant changes in public policy are needed to more effectively integrate working age people with disabilities into employment. We identify and discuss the most promising directions for public policy in this area.

A Closer Look at the Employment Impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This paper replicates the recent findings that the employment rate among all disabled persons has declined since the ADA. A closer look at this decline, however, indicates that the source of this measured decline in employment is the result of a tremendous drop in the labor force participation rate among the disabled. While also of potential concern, further analysis indicates that this drop in the labor force participation rate was not the result of the disabled fleeing the labor market, but, rather, more likely the result of re-classification of non-disabled, non-participants, as disabled. The unconditional employment probability among the disabled (taking selection into the labor market into account) has actually not declined, and may have in fact improved slightly for certain disability classifications. The results are consistent across two different data sets and mirrored by a state-level analysis. While the relative employment position of the disabled has not deteriorated, the lack of significant impact of the ADA does raise the issue of the merit of its labor market provisions.
