Section 5: **EarningsThis section presents statistics on earnings.

The principal source of these data is the U.S. Census Bureau, specifically the American Community Survey.**

**Table 5.1: Median Earnings of Civilians 16 Years and Over in the Past 12 Months for the U.S.**In 2012, for the individuals with disabilities ages 16 years and over living in the community that had earnings from work, median earnings were $20,448. In contrast, among individuals without disabilities ages 16 years and over living in the community that had earnings from work, median earnings were $30,881, a gap of $10,433. This gap is smallest (meaning the earnings of people with disabilities are closest to the earnings of people without disabilities) in Nevada ($5,688) and largest (meaning the earnings of people with disabilities are furthest from the earnings of people without disabilities) in the District of Columbia ($19,762).
