Free Online Webinar on Disability Statistics

TIME: 12-1 eastern

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Cornell University's Employment and Disability Institute (EDI) will host
an online webinar on November 12, 2008 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. EST to present
the findings of the 2007 Disability Status Report. The free webinar will
explore recently released 2007 American Community Survey data related to
disability and employment, education, poverty, household income and labor
earnings.
Cornell Research found that in 2007, 36.9 percent of working-age (21-64)
people with disabilities were employed, compared with the 79.7 percent of
people without disabilities. Moreover, researchers found that 24.7 percent
of working-age Americans with disabilities lived in poverty, compared to
9.0 percent of those without disabilities. These dramatic discrepancies
are longstanding and continue to separate Americans with disabilities from
their peers without disabilities.
WHO: Cornell University's Employment and Disability Institute,
Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability Demographics and
Statistics
WHAT: Free Online Webinar on Disability Statistics
WHEN: November 12, 2008 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. EST
WHY: Cornell University experts in disability statistics and research will
lead the dialogue and act as guides to the latest information and issues
associated with disability statistics and the circumstances that those
with disabilities face.
WHERE: To register for this free webinar, please go to:

EDI's Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability
Demographics and Statistics (StatsRRTC) bridges the divide between the
sources of disability data and the users of disability statistics. Funded
by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research
(NIDRR), StatsRRTC produces the Disability Status Reports annually based
on analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data.
The relevance of these statistics to the process of developing and
maintaining policies that relate to the people with disabilities in the
United States can not be overstated. We hope that we may be honored with
your participation in this insightful and relevant discussion on November
12, 2008 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. EST.
