CCD Equity Dialogue Contributions
Fundamentally, using good data is necessary to drive for improved and more equitable outcomes for the many underrepresented communities and intersectional identities contained within the broader disability community. Good data must capture not only disability status, but also disaggregated that data by race. Our nation, our government, and our policies will never advance an equity agenda, unless decision makers can clearly see the disproportionate impact of their choices.

People with disabilities face critical barriers to entering the general workforce. Before the COVID 19 pandemic, the national employment rate for working-age people with disabilities in the United States was 37.6 percent compared to 77.8 percent of people without disabilities. There are significant racial disparities in disability employment outcomes. Before the COVID 19 pandemic, 38.9 percent of working-age white people with disabilities had jobs compared to only 29.7 percent of working-age Black people with disabilities, 39.4 percent of working-age Hispanics with disabilities and 43.2 percent of working-age Asian-Americans with disabilities.
