Summary: Disabled Workers; Employers Fears are Groundles

The article, "Disabled Workers; Employers Fears are Groundless", explains how many working-age Americans with physical disabilities will remain jobless even after the economy recovers. This is so because employers assume it would be a challenge to hire people with special needs. Employers are afraid to hire people with disabilities because they believe it would lead to hirgher employment costs and lower profit margin. Other reasons include the view that these workers lack job skills and necessary experience. However, studies have shown otherwise. It has been proven that hiring workers with special needs does not translate into higher accommodation costs and that most workers with disabilities require no accommodation to begin with.
