WI PROUD: Wisconsin ranks in the top 20 for disability employment
Wisconsin currently ranks 18th in the United States for disability-inclusive employment, with 51.0% of its disabled population in the workforce, according to recent data analyzed by Everway. The study, which utilized figures from Disability Statistics, identifies South Dakota as the national leader with a 61.5% employment rate, while West Virginia sits at the bottom with 36.4%. Beyond the rankings, the report emphasizes that geography continues to dictate opportunity and suggests that businesses can bridge this gap by adopting neuroinclusive practices, such as rethinking traditional interview processes and championing employee resource groups, to tap into a significant and often overlooked talent pool.
