People with disabilities can have a tough time finding gainful employment in today’s day and age. Whether their disabilities stem from serving in the armed forces, birth defects, traumatic incidents, or any other cause, the effect is the same. Life moves slower for the disabled and transporation is perennially problematic. But today the disabled are opening their own businesses in record numbers. Recent research reports from Rehabilition Services Admninistration show:
- 20 to25% of participating disabled people are interested in starting their own businesses
- At least 50% of disabled business owners receive help in their endeavors through the Disabled Businesspersons Association
- More than half of entrepreneurs with disabilities started their businesses with investments of less than $10,000
- three in five disabled-owned businesses are partnerships of two to three people
With the advantage of online business as well as the benefits of teamwork, disabled people today have more opportunities than ever to open their own businesses, thus create their own jobs. As technology develops, choices abound for the disabled among us, and that can only be good news for the entire community.
