In the United States, there is health care, a supportive income, and an array of social services to support people with disabilities, especially those who cannot work. However, all people with disabilities, including those with college degrees, simply do not have the same economic opportunities afforded to the rest of society. This is true even of those who may be quite capable of participating in the workplace. Historical, legal, financial, and social realities dictate the boundaries of participation in society. Today, there are a number of metrics in this research which will demonstrate the inequality in our society, but the income and wealth gaps are persistent.
