[nabs-l] unemployment rate?

[Kirt Manwaring]

Dear nabs list,
  I'm not really sure where to ask, but I have a few questions about
our infamous 70 percent unemployment rate.  So here goes:
1.  When was the last time we obtained statistics about the
unemployment rate of blind people?  (in other words, has it changed at
all, because I've been hearing 70 percent for a long, long time.)
2.  Does this include cognatively disabled people, or is it 70 percent
of those of us who are only blind?  (I'm not really concerned about
how people with other physical disabilities impact that statistic)
3.  What are the unemployment rates for other blind people in western
European countries?  (that one might be addressed to the gentleman on
the list who suggests we all pack our bags and get the heck out of
America)
And finally....  *big drumroll*
4.  Of the blind people employed in the United States, what percentage
work in the blindness field?
  Best,
Kirt
P.S.  That last question wasn't meant in any kind of condescending or
judgmental way at all, I'm just curious.  As I've said earlier, I
respect qualified blind people who work in the blindness arena.
