Arcare is proud to support National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Each October, NDEAM aims to educate the public about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities. It also serves as a reminder to employers of the importance of inclusive hiring practices.
Ensuring that America’s workplaces continue to include and accommodate people with disabilities will be an important part of our economic rebound. Looking ahead, the Department will remain focused on the policies that led to a strong economy and record-low unemployment rates for persons with disabilities prior to the pandemic. A vigorous economic rebound and job growth will, alongside the Americans with Disabilities Act, increase access and opportunity for Americans with disabilities.
U.S. Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia
