A New Day: We're Listening


The US Dept. of Labor Assistant Secretary Kathleen Martinez is spearheading a Listening Tour to solicit ideas from employers and individuals with disabilities on three key topics:


1. More effective ways to increase employment of women, veterans and minorities with disabilities;
2. Identification of federal and state systems that are effectively
collaborating to achieve successful employment results for people with
disabilities; and 
3. Top priorities on which the federal government should focus to support an increase in the employment of persons with disabilities.
