The 2000 Census
identified nearly one in five
Americans as disabled and
over 22 million Americans (or 1 in 10)
identified with “severe
disabilities”.
The JWODProgram
annually assists more than
45,000 of these workers.

■ “Severely disabled” is defined by JWOD as those who cannot obtain normal competitive work due to their disability.
■ A Harris Poll shows there is still a staggering 70% unemployment rate among people with disabilities.
■ The JWOD Program is a great value to the American taxpayer base since…tens of thousands of people who might otherwise be solely dependent on public assistance instead become taxpaying citizens…within their communities.
■ A recent study shows that nearly $6,000 per person is saved from government “payrolls” due to JWOD-contract employment.
