A billion people are living with disabilities worldwide (millions in the United States). About 15% of the world's population suffers from a disability. Unfortunately, many people living with disabilities experience workplace discrimination that can start before they're even hired. Many people with disabilities are dismissed because of their disability during job interviews, even though they are fully capable of completing the necessary job duties. Disability discrimination during the hiring process and in workplaces across the nation created an employment gap between those living with disabilities and those not living with disabilities - the disability employment gap.
