Late last month, the White House, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Office of Personnel Management (OPM), gathered leaders from across the government to celebrate accomplishments in disability hiring in the Federal workforce resulting from Executive Order 13548 and discuss strategies for continued progress. In tandem with the event, OPM released a report revealing that people with disabilities now represent 14.41 percent of the overall workforce, accounting for 264,844 people. This translates to more people with disabilities in federal service than at any time in the past 35 years. Read a blog post about the event or more about the OPM report.
