“I’ll have a whiskey sour and a glass of rosé for the lady, please?”

It’s Fact Friday again, and this is a fact that I wish was a myth. It’s also a huge reason why I am so passionate about this #RubyAndNellaGoToWorkCampaign:

The unemployment rate for people with disabilities has constantly hovered at or above 70 percent, even 28 years after the passage of the ADA. This leaves many qualified individuals with disabilities on the lookout for a job.

So, EMPLOYERS: As you seek to fill open positions, consider hiring qualified people with disabilities. When you hire a competent person with a disability, you’ll bring benefits to your company’s overall atmosphere and bottom line as well as to your customers and community.

And your new employee might just make you the best whiskey sour you’ve ever had. ???? Cheers!!
