Lower Labor Force Participation Among Those with Multiple Disabilities
Employment and Labor Force Status by Disability Status and Number of Difficulty Types, 2021–2023
This stacked bar chart shows the share of those ages 16 to 64 who were employed (red bars), unemployed (steel blue bars), and not in the labor force (navy bars) between 2021 and 2023, by disability status and whether those with disabilities experienced only one type of difficulty or multiple types of difficulty. Less than 20 percent (17.8 percent) of those with multiple types of disabilities were employed, compared to 47 percent of those with only one type of disability and just under three-quarters (74.1 percent) of those without a disability.
