Summary
Workers with disabilities have a lower likelihood of securing good quality jobs, defined by higher wages and benefits. However, disability itself may not predict job quality when health status is considered.
Area of Science:
- Employment research
- Disability studies
- Socioeconomic inequality
Background:
- Job quality is a key metric for assessing employment inequality.
- Limited research has focused on job quality for individuals with disabilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the likelihood of good quality employment for workers with and without disabilities.
- To expand existing measures of employment outcomes for people with disabilities.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the 2014-2016 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS-ASEC).
- Defined good quality jobs as those paying above median wages with employer-sponsored health insurance and retirement plans.
- Analyzed prevalence of good quality jobs by disability status and employment type (full-time/part-time).
Main Results:
- Workers with disabilities were significantly less likely to hold good quality jobs.
- Logistic regression indicated that disability was not a predictor of good job quality after controlling for health status.
Conclusions:
- Job quality metrics can aid in monitoring employment for disabled workers.
- Further research should explore subjective job quality assessments.
