When disabled people are excluded from applying for jobs, the disability community suffers and businesses cheat themselves out of potential great employees. Jay Ruderman, President of the Ruderman Family Foundation, which advocates for the full inclusion of people with disabilities into society, told me, “people may not know that people with disabilities are the largest minority in our country and the poorest segment of our population. It is fundamentally unjust that 70 percent of people with disabilities are unemployed and excluded from inclusion in the daily aspects of life most of us take from granted.”
