The Labor Market Experience of Workers with Disabilities: The ADA and Beyond Julie L. Hotchkiss First Chapter | Table of Contents 229 pp. 2003 $40.00 cloth 978-0-88099-252-7 $20.00 paper 978-0-88099-251-0 This book focuses on the labor market provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It provides a comprehensive analysis of the current labor market experience of American workers with disabilities and an assessment of the impact the ADA has had on that experience. Whereas previous studies focused on a single dimension of this experience (e.g., wages or employment levels) evaluated at a single point in time, or focused on the labor supply impact of disability policies, this research explores the labor market experience across those dimensions and across time. The result is a more complete picture of what Americans with disabilities can expect as participants in the labor market and of whether this experience has been impacted by the passage of the ADA. "Overall, I found this book easy to read and informative, and it affected the way I think about the ADA. I recommend it to all researchers interested in the economics of disability." –Industrial and Labor Relations Review |
