Abstract
The unemployment rate for people with disabilities between the ages of 18 and 65 in the US is estimated at 60 to 70 percent. This astounding ratio makes people with disabilities the largest underemployed sector in the US. One major contributing factor is that many people in this group dont pursue more marketable professions such as engineering, computing, and information technology.
