Delivering on the Promise: U.S. Department of Labor. Self-Evaluation to Promote Community Living for People with Disabilities

摘要

The Department of Labor (DOL) begins this Report by recognizing a simple truth: If people with disabilities are to fully access and be a part of their communities, they must have the opportunity to work. Work is so essential that without it people with disabilities often face isolation and segregation from the very communities in which they wish to participate. The DOL is charged with preparing the American workforce of the 21st century for new and better jobs. It is responsible for the administration and enforcement of numerous federal statutes, covering a wide variety of workplace activities for employers and workers. The programs, services, and benefits afforded through DOL are intended for all employers and workers across the nation, including individuals with disabilities.
