With the media says that there’s such a shortage why aren’t we hired more often? A lot of the jobs I see out there do require a job seeker to have a drivers license. Many of them for good reasons not just to be spiteful. Delivery workers and such. I would think a CNA with a visual impairment would have no problem finding work nowadays. We will work and we will show up unlike a lot of people. I worked in that field as some may know. I was not a CNA but worked in healthcare in nursing homes. They can’t keep people were squad. Many of them are only there for a paycheck and nothing else. And honestly they do nothing else will pick up their paycheck and go out for smoking breaks or playing on their cell phones. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Ericka J.

Given the extreme shortage of workers and the fact that businesses are closing for periods of time because of lack of staffing, is there something we can do, possibly nationally, to advertise to employers and recruiters that blind people are here, available to work, and excited for the opportunity?
