[Nfbmo] barriers to blind employment

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

1. an employment specialist should be able to explain to the employer that 
jaws can be modified and may in fact work with their customer service system 
instead of walking away when the employer says 'sorry, jaws won't work with 
our system'.

2. when there are clients who want to apply to a company with known adaptive 
imcompatible systems such as convergsys and enterprise, and the engineer 
that rsb favors can't solve the issue, why is that engineer still considered 
the favorite for every situation?

The rate of unemployment for the blind is between %70 and %80.  The 
Employment Research Committee (ERC) is working on identifying the barriers 
to employment of the blind and possible solutions.  Pleas state the barriers 
that you believe contribute to blind unemployment and possible solutions. 
Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Cordially,

Jim Moynihan
