July is Disability Pride Month, marking the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) being passed into law in 1990. Thanks in part to the opportunities created by the ADA, as well as the rise of remote work, the number of people with disabilities joining the workforce has been increasing — reaching record levels over the past three years. Where are those with disabilities finding the most work? According to a new analysis from LinkedIn's Economic Graph, LinkedIn members who report having disabilities are 1.5 times more likely than members reporting no disabilities to be working in military and protective services. They’re also more likely to be working in media and communications, social services, education and legal roles. They are significantly less likely to find roles in accounting, finance, product management and real estate. Read more about this story here: https://lnkd.in/dr9SabeQ. And weigh in below: How can employers best support workers with disabilities in your line of work?
