We explore the role of workplace accommodations in reducing employment barriers and improving the employment of people with disabilities. We do so using data from the 2015 Survey of Disability and Employment on people with disabilities who applied for vocational rehabilitation services in three states. The results show that at least one third of nonworking people with disabilities reported employment barriers that could be addressed by workplace accommodations, such as lack of transportation and an inaccessible workplace. We also find that receiving certain types of workplace accommodations, such as help with transportation, flexible work schedules, or a personal care attendant, is positively correlated with being employed at the time of the survey. Finally, people who are in poor health or have physical disabilities were more likely to perceive workplace inaccessibility as a barrier but less likely to have received accommodations in their current or most recent job. This suggests that people with these characteristics may be good candidates to target for greater access to workplace accommodations.

工作场所住宿在残疾人就业中的作用

我们探索工作场所住宿在减少就业障碍和改善残疾人就业方面的作用。我们使用2015年《残疾人与就业调查》中有关三个州申请职业康复服务的残疾人的数据来做到这一点。结果表明，至少三分之一的非工作残疾人报告了就业障碍，可以通过工作场所的住宿来解决，例如交通不便和工作场所无法通行。我们还发现，接受某些类型的工作场所住宿，例如交通方面的帮助，灵活的工作时间表或个人护理服务人员，与调查时的就业呈正相关。最后，健康状况不佳或肢体残疾的人更有可能将工作场所的无障碍性视为障碍，但在目前或最近的工作中获得住宿的可能性较小。这表明具有这些特征的人可能是更好地获得工作场所住宿的良好候选人。
