I afraid if that true
Remember... it's blog, eh...
90% ? I don't buy that story.
I'd say 70% of my friends have a job.
I agree with DeafMom who think it's actual 90% UNDERemployed which more like part-time or under table or paid in cash.
LOL doesn't believe this... sorry...

Nah! 90% ? ? Hmmm... hard to believe....
Awauphi
Where did Deafmom said?? i dont see??? hmm unless i overlook it? oh well ha
I am deaf and employed.
Seems to be it might be one of those made-up statistics.
Of the six deaf people I know personally, four work 40-hour weeks for paychecks, one is a homemaker married to a working hearie, and one is retired from Well Fargo Bank.
Technically, that small sampling shows 66.6% employed, closer to Authentic's number, but that figure is skewed on the downside, because the deaf wife is working at home without welfare, and the other deafie is retired, drawing well-deserved pensions, loafing, and spoiling her grandkids as God intended.
I agree, I thought too, maybe 70%... but i heard that American People people don't have a passport, about 90%. I can't imagine....
Annie Rhiannon: 90% of Americans don't even have passports
That's so unbelieve...
It would be roughly about between 50% to 70% are unemployment, not including with part time.
90%!? :bsflag:
71 percent of the blind are unemployed, 90 percent of deaf people in this country are unemployed
That seems to be a bit odd. I'm almost positive that they may have accidently transposed the percentages.
There's 90% of deaf people being un-employed? Hmm, I wonder where did they get the information mainly on deaf people being unemployed by a staggering percentage? I'd be interested to see where they were able to find the statistics based on that result.
Sure, There are some deaf people who are un-employed, working under the table and there are some who actually holds a job. I don't think believe the high percentage is at 90%. It seems a bit high even for the deaf people. If it was around maybe 60 or so, then yeah it'd make sense.
Funny, I am gonna have to agree with others here on the post, because I find it very hard to believe that you posted 90% of deaf unemploy it don't sound extacly right.
The Deaf population throughout the world faces many challenges in life. Others who do not understand deaf culture or people often discriminate against the deaf. One of the more troubling statistics for the deaf population is the unemployment rate. As the National Unemployment rate can fluctuate from 4% to 6% for the general public, the unemployment rate for the deaf is usually over 60% in most states. These statistics beg the question, why are we not utilizing our capable individuals?
We might be able to make a case for UNderemployed, ya think?
LOL, your comment made me laugh with the :bsflag:
I'm shocked.......*sarcasm*
Wow, 90% is almost like every deaf person doesn't work only 10% works. I don't buy that either. I'm deaf and employed. Alot of my friends are employed too. Of course, there will be some that canNOT work for reasons. I just don't buy it.. 90%... *thinking* no way.
