October 2013 — Researchers with the Individual Characteristics Rehabilitation Research and Training Center have released a report entitled “Individual Characteristics and Employment Outcomes among People with Disabilities: A Critical Literature Review.” The report reviews literature on employment for people with disabilities to determine how individual characteristics affect employment outcomes. Overall, the report found that few studies focus on individual characteristics, such as health or personal factors, and their relation to employment. Additionally, of the studies that focus on individual characteristics and employment outcomes, there was “substantial variation in the populations studied,” making it difficult to generalize or compare any findings.
