The Change of Job Mobility among Workers with Disability in the Early 1990’s

چکیده
Using data from the 1990 and 1993 Survey of Income and Program Participation, this paper attempts to examine how job mobility among disabled workers changed in the early 1990s and to disentangle the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) effects from the macroeconomic effects on this change of job mobility. This paper finds that the job mobility among disabled workers improved but there is no evidence of the ADA effects from the data. I wish to thank Edward J. Schumacher, George M. Holmes and Odeda Rosenthal for helpful comments. Any remaining errors are my own.
