Some individuals with disabilities have relatively better labor outcomes than others. If vocational rehabilitation (VR) counselors can better understand what factors are correlated with positive outcomes, they could better identify what clients are at risk for poor outcomes and then intervene early to improve chances for success. Unfortunately, until recently VR survey and administrative data have had insufficient information to investigate these questions. We use a survey of 932 Ohio VR clients combined with administrative earnings data to examine the barriers and facilitators associated with employment and earnings outcomes. The survey data are from the 2014 Survey of Disability and Employment, a survey of VR applicants in three states. We compare VR case status and earnings through 2016, by demographics, functional limitation status, employment history and attitudes, and reasons stated for not working in the survey. We find that about 25% of survey respondents exited the program employed or had at least one quarter of average monthly earnings above the Social Security Administration’s substantial gainful activity amount. Pain, depression or anxiety, longer duration of job separation, personal and familial attitudes about work, and not working because of personal and health reasons were associated with poorer outcomes among survey respondents.

与成功的职业康复和就业结果相关的个人和背景因素

一些残疾人的劳动成果比其他人要好。如果职业康复 (VR) 顾问能够更好地了解哪些因素与积极成果相关，他们就可以更好地确定哪些客户面临不良成果的风险，然后及早干预以提高成功的机会。不幸的是，直到最近 VR 调查和管理数据还没有足够的信息来调查这些问题。我们使用对 932 名俄亥俄州 VR 客户的调查结合行政收入数据来检查与就业和收入结果相关的障碍和促进因素。调查数据来自 2014 年残疾和就业调查，这是一项针对三个州的 VR 申请人的调查。我们比较了 2016 年的 VR 案例状态和收入，按人口统计、功能限制状态、工作经历和态度，以及未在调查中工作的原因。我们发现，大约 25% 的调查受访者退出了该计划，或者其平均月收入至少有四分之一高于社会保障管理局的大量有酬活动金额。在调查受访者中，疼痛、抑郁或焦虑、离职时间较长、个人和家庭对工作的态度以及因个人和健康原因不工作与较差的结果有关。
