Abstract	Data show that people with disabilities are consistently less likely to be working than their non-disabled counterparts. In this Data Note, the employment rate for working-age people is compared across disability types, as well as those without disabilities. While employment rates across disability subpopulation groups vary, all disability groups lag far behind their counterparts without a disability. The employment rates by subpopulation underscore the challenges faced by specific groups in obtaining and retaining employment. Closing the employment rate gap between working-age people in various disability subpopulations and their working-age counterparts without disabilities should be a critical goal for policy and practice.
