Ruby Ryles did a study back in 90's, something like 90 percent of blind persons competent in Braille were employed, unemployment rate for rest is much higher.

She is now at Louisiana Tech, I would think you could find the study with google etc.

p.s.  There was probably something about the study in the Braille Monitor and/or Future Reflections.
