It Makes Good Business Sense to Get Involved with Disability:IN Wisconsin.
Disability:IN Wisconsin helps address the high unemployment rate of people with disabilities. Nationally, there are almost 1.5 million people with disabilities in the U.S. who are currently unemployed and looking for work. At least one in 10 people in Wisconsin has some kind of disability and only 40 percent of working-age Wisconsin residents with disabilities are employed.
The business community needs qualified workers to fill its changing job requirements. Many employers today are unable to find qualified job applicants through their normal channels of recruitment. Employers participating in Disability:IN Wisconsin respond to this need by exploring methods to more effectively recruit, market, and hire from the talented pool of job applicants with disabilities.
Hiring individuals with disabilities can save money for taxpayers. The U.S. spends billions each year on benefits to people who, in most cases, would rather have the respect, friendships, and income that jobs and careers bring.
