A silver lining from COVID's adoption of remote working options?
A higher share of Americans with a disability are employed now than pre-pandemic, 20.4%.
Meanwhile, employment rate for Americans with no disability remain below pre-pandemic.
=> shift in relative productivity?
A source of talent employers may overlook and should investigate.
Perhaps the pandemic caused disability among previously employed people?
Doesn't look like it. The populations with and without disability have grown at about the same rate since the start of the pandemic. Both trends indexed = 100 in Feb 2020.
But definitely makes clear noisiness in measurement of population with a disability, so warrants caution in interpreting employment rate estimates.
