A Better Bottom Line, Employing People with Disabilities

The National Governor's Association released a report that outlines "A Better Bottom Line: Employing People with Disabilities" initiative. The initiative was developed to provide individuals with disabilities the opportunities to: live close to family and friends; live independently and in safe communities; engage in productive employment; and participate in community life. Specifically, this initiative will focus on the employment challenges that affect individuals with intellectual and other significant disabilities and the role that both State government and business can play in facilitating and advancing opportunities for these individuals to be gainfully employed in the competitive labor market.
