As noted in
Gibson (2001), work
disability statistics do include people with a veterans’ disability. Those
who meet no other work disability criteria have an employment rate of .91
(consistent with nondisabled employment rates), whereas those who do meet
other nonsevere work disability criteria have an employment rate of .71
(consistent with nonsevere employment rates). The presence of the veterans’
disability group could slightly skew the nonsevere employment rates upward.
A close look at Gibson (2001), however, reveals that only 4% of the
nonseverely disabled male group meets the veterans’ disability criteria, but
no other. Therefore, the impact of their presence is minimal. There is
practically no impact from this question for the female population with
disabilities. |
