Wow, The February 2015 labor force participation rate for people with
disabilities, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), was 19.8
percent, compared to 68.2 percent for people without disabilities.  

 

This helps explain why Rodgers and Zimmer are thrilled and okay with the
last figures of blind persons employed within BS4BP being at 19 percent of
the Bureau workforce.

 

The BS4BP 19 percent truly demonstrates:

1.	BS4BP is right in the pack with mainstream America employers, and a
demonstration of no leadership to address the unemployment and
under-employment of persons with disabilities.
2.	  There is absolutely no interest by blind persons employed within
the BS4Bp, e.g. Rodgers, Essenberg, Keisel, Jones, Hull, to demonstrate that
well qualified blind persons, have the ability to perform any position
within the BS4BP.  Such employment of well qualified blind persons would be
a model for BS4BP consumers, other employers, and the state administration,
legislators, and general public, that there are well qualified blind
persons, we the well qualified blind are able and eager to work given an
opportunity, and we can competitively and competently do a job, with the
correct education, training, and accommodation, equal or better than sighted
peers.
3.	  BS4BP management whom are blind themselves, of course, do not
desire to be surrounded by well qualified blind persons in the workplace, as
it would show how unqualified and incompetent current management is in their
area of management.
4.	Current management sets a low bar of expectation of blind persons,
as it is demonstrated they have a low bar of performance themselves. 
5.	And to hire well qualified blind persons, BS4BP management would not
be surrounded by their family, friends, intmate relationships, and lovers of
lovers.  In other words, civil service would operate as it should, with the
best qualified employees, and absrnt nepotism. 

 

The information below is interesting an tells the truth! This is what we
work to overcome as NFB.

 



 Where Are the CEOs and Executive Managers with Disabilities?

As we prepare to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the passage of the 1990
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, I cannot help but ask, how
many corporate CEOs, presidents or high-level executives with disabilities
easily come to mind? Although I use four prostheses and steer a large
not-for-profit in the New York metro area, I can only rattle off a few CEOs
with a disability. While we're seeing broadened gender and ethnic diversity
at the top of the ladder, people with disabilities are still lagging when it
comes to making it to the C-suite.

The lack of individuals in leadership roles is reflective of the employment
woes people with disabilities are still experiencing. While the road towards
this landmark anniversary includes many accomplishments, the employment of
people with disabilities continues to be an area where we've barely moved
the needle. We're still seeing an outrageously low labor force participation
rate, the percentage of people who are working or actively looking for work,
by individuals with disabilities. The February 2015 labor force
participation rate for people with disabilities, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS), was 19.8 percent, compared to 68.2 percent for
people without disabilities. If well-educated, qualified individuals aren't
even in the workforce, how could they possibly climb the corporate ladder,
or shall I say 'ramp'?

Let's look at ADA25 as a means of drawing attention to this continued
challenge. If you are an employer, we need your "buy in." You hold the keys
to unlocking employment opportunities at all levels for people with
disabilities. There is more untapped, educated talent out there than ever
before. Embrace it. Recruit and hire people with disabilities. Advance those
already within your organization and diversify your thought leadership....
