The unemployment and poverty rates for people with disabilities are unacceptable, despite laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act and Social Security Disability benefits like SSDI and SSI.In 2020, Americans with disabilities will have a poverty rate of about 25%, while non-disabled Americans will have a poverty rate of 11%.In addition, in 2021, the unemployment rate for Americans with disabilities was 10.1%, which is approximately twice as high as the rate for Americans without disabilities.And that only includes people who are actively seeking employment.Overall, Americans with disabilities make up just over 19% of the workforce, compared to just under 68% of people without disabilities.
