| Abstract |
The 2007 American Community Survey data were analyzed to compare disabilities and employment characteristics between immigrants and adults born in the United States, aged between 18 and 64 years. Separate logistic regression models of employment were constructed among persons with disabilities and among persons without disabilities. Each multivariate model included nativity/citizenship, sex, race/ethnicity, age, and education. In 2007, 40.8% of immigrants with disabilities were employed, while only 34.9% of US-born persons with disabilities were employed. Implications of these and other findings are discussed. |
