The New Worklife Expectancy Tables, now in its sixth edition for 2006, continues to be the only source of worklife expectancy statistics adjusted for disability.  Derived from government statistics, these tables are subdivided by:

  • Age - Worklife expectancies are provided for each age from 16 through 74.
  • Education - Education categories are: less than high school, high school degree or equivalent, some college but less than baccalaureate, and baccalaureate and higher.  A final category is included averaging all persons, regardless of education level.
  • Gender - Separate tables are provided for males and females.
  • Level of Work Disability - Using data from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement and from the American Community Survey of the US Census Bureau, worklife expectancies are further divided by disability status.  From the ASEC, the categories are those with no disability, those with a "not severe" disability, and those with a "severe" disability.  A category is also provided for the average of all persons with disability, regardless of severity.  From the ACS, categories for Physical and Cognitive Disability (by severity) are added.

The following chart depicts the impact of disability on worklife at the age of 25:

This chart demonstrates the impact of education on worklife, again at the age of 25, but limited to males:
