A jobs guarantee doesn’t force people with disabilities to work but guarantees those who want to can

(Jack - former disability policy analyst, federal lobbyist and congressional intern, “Universal Benefits Will Help People With Disabilities Escape Poverty,” 2 July 2019, https://truthout.org/articles/universal-benefits-will-help-people-with-disabilities-escape-poverty/)

A new benefits program for all people that includes people with disabilities should be multi-pronged and include a federal jobs guarantee with fair compensation, health care and universal basic income with extra funding for those with disabilities who are unable to work. A federal jobs guarantee that includes people with disabilities, while also fighting for equitable compensation, will better the economic reality for those living in poverty. A jobs guarantee will not force people with disabilities to work, but simply guarantee that any person who wants to work will be able to do so while also receiving benefits.
