An untapped source of dependable employees
In general, workers with disabilities have higher-than-average retention rates and company loyalty.
They also make up about 22 percent of Florida's population and represent America’s largest minority, accounting for about 19.3 percent of the general population.
Hiring people with disabilities can also help you tap an enormous market niche. People with disabilities have a combined income of more than $1 trillion and $220 billion in discretionary income. In comparison, the teen market only controls $140 billion.
