“A diversified workplace is good for the bottom line, yet people with disabilities have historically been left out of the workforce. The labor force participation rate for people with challenges is about 33.3% compared to 77.6% for those without disabilities. Research shows that firms that employ and support workers with disabilities have 28% higher revenue and 30% higher profit margins than peer businesses that do not. Inclusive employers report higher overall employee morale and higher retention rate of workers with disabilities. Research also reveals that people with disabilities are healthier and happier when they have the opportunity to work.” - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living
