Implications for Job Seekers
Fewer jobs with more competition for those jobs
Changing nature of jobs—more “contingent” and PT workers, more rigorous and rapidly changing job requirements.
Greater difficulty getting noticed
Need to navigate confusing online systems and multiple social networks

Implications for Job Seekers with Disabilities
Focus on expanding social networks—who you know is critically important!
Communicate value as an employee, not as a person with a disability.
Self-advocacy
Staff focus on coaching people in goal-setting and implementing job search plan
