| dc.description.abstract | This article describes a study of employers' attitudes
toward hiring people with disabilities and
toward the state Vocational Rehabilitation (VR)
agency. The study examined attitudes of employers
in two states, one in the Midwest and one in
the Southeast. In all cases, en-~ployers were
known to have hired people with disabilities and
to have worked with the state VR agency. The
study found that employers stated that they were
glad they hired the person they did, but
expressed reservations about hiring people with
certain types of disabilities. Employers did not
express a high degree of knowledge about the
state VR program, and satisfaction with VR was mixed. | en |
