Ppl with disabilities are usually on some government provided income. Those benefits come with limits of how much income disabled ppl can make. Therefore disabled ppl will work for less $$ and not full time. Employers are seeing this opportunity and hiring them at higher rates.

What if COVID has caused more disabilities, so the same people are back to work, just with long term disabilities from COVID? Are there #s of the % of people identified as disabled before and after?
