Only half of disabled Canadians have full- or part-time job
A new poll suggests that employment conditions remain dismal for Canadians with disabilities.
The survey commissioned by CIBC and conducted by Angus Reid found that only half of respondents living with a disability have a full or part-time job.
Two years ago, Statistics Canada released similar figures putting the employment rate for disabled Canadians at 49 per cent, compared to 79 per cent for the general population.
