These are the leading disability employers in 2020

These employers are dedicated to inclusivity.

While October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, unemployment for adults with disabilities is an epidemic in the workforce that’s seen all year, every year. That said, there are disability employers out there that are committed to changing things, such as Microsoft and SAP, which have special programs for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the unemployment rate for workers with disabilities in 2019 was 7.3%—more than double that for those with no disability. Although the unemployment rate for workers with disabilities has declined over the years—it was 14.5% in 2009, when the unemployment rate for persons with a disability was first reported by the BLS—there is still much more that needs to be done to help workers with disabilities find jobs.

Fortunately, some best-in-class employers are already leading the way in disability inclusion in the workplace. Every year, the National Organization on Disability (NOD) recognizes these top companies for not only leading the way in inclusion, but also for tapping into the many benefits that come with hiring talent with disabilities, which include high rates of productivity, strong dedication, and greater engagement at work.

Listed below in alphabetical order, these companies run the gamut from banks and insurance providers to manufacturers and health care companies. Click through the links below to see if one of them would be a good fit for you.
