The role of people with disabilities in the workforce is changing, rapidly. Since 2020, the number of people with disabilities participating in the workforce has increased by more than 30% — a remarkable gain in just five years. Behind that number is a story of progress: greater access to remote and hybrid work, stronger employer commitment to inclusion, and a growing understanding that accessibility benefits everyone. This isn’t a short-term trend. It’s a lasting change in how organizations attract, retain, and support talent. Industries like health care, technology, and engineering are leading the way, showing how flexible and inclusive practices open doors for skilled professionals who were once overlooked. As SHRM’s latest analysis from senior labor economist Justin Ladner shows, employers that embrace this shift are building more dynamic, resilient, and future-ready workforces.
