East Hanover, NJ – June 5, 2026 – The June 2026 National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) report reveals a large increase in job seeking among people with disabilities, signaling that more individuals are entering the labor force as economic pressure intensifies. This finding aligns with last month’s nTIDE forecast that rising prices would push more people with disabilities to seek employment, while progress in employment access continues.
The May 2026 National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) report indicates a decline in employment for people with disabilities. But while month-to-month changes are expected within a more limited range at the post-pandemic plateau, people with disabilities continue to maintain stronger employment gains than before the pandemic.
The April 2026 nTIDE report shows modest gains in the employment of working-aged people with disabilities on pace with the modest gains in the overall labor market.
The March 2026 National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) report shows that employment of working-aged people with disabilities declined between January and February.
The February 2026 National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) report shows that employment of working-aged people with disabilities declined in January but remains near all-time highs set at the end of 2025.
The January 2026 National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) report shows that employment outcomes for working-aged people with disabilities reached all-time highs in November and December 2025, potentially representing a push past the plateau experienced since mid-2023. nTIDE is issued monthly by Kessler Foundation and the University of New Hampshire’s Institute on Disability.
The December 2025 National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) report shows that employment outcomes for working-aged people with disabilities remain near historic highs, despite broader economic uncertainty.

East Hanover, NJ – September 26, 2024 – While voting accessibility for people with disabilities has improved since 2012, a turnout gap persists, with one in seven voters with disabilities reporting difficulties in 2022. Additionally, recent rollbacks of pandemic voting measures in some states have made it harder for people with disabilities to vote in person and by mail.
Young people with disabilities aged 16 to 24 had high school enrollment rates nearly identical to their non-disabled peers, but significantly fewer held jobs during this time. Meanwhile, college students with disabilities were less likely to be enrolled but were slightly more likely to be employed, possibly benefiting from the rise of remote work opportunities in the post-COVID era, according to data shared during the according to last Friday’s National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) Deeper Dive Lunch & Learn Webinar.
