“Disabled job seekers are employed at far lower rates than anyone else in this nation, and that is unacceptable,” said Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24). “The GAO’s report shows that while progress has been made under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, too many barriers still block the path, especially when training providers fail to provide proper accommodations. That is not fairness, and it is not justice. True workforce development means real access for everyone. It is our shared responsibility to remove these barriers, strengthen our workforce programs, and close the employment gap so that disabled job seekers have a full and equal chance to contribute, thrive, and succeed in today’s economy.”
