The latest data from the Disability Observatory demonstrate this. Specifically, hiring of people with disabilities rose by 18.37 percent between January and May of this year compared with the same period in 2009.
In addition, hiring through special employment centers also increased, reaching almost 31 percent during the first five months of this year.
This is good news, further bolstered by the government’s decision to increase the quota of positions reserved for people with disabilities in public-sector employment from 5 to 7 percent.
