New Employment Stats for Hoosiers with Disabilities

Monday, October 25, 2021

The 2021 Day and Employment Services Outcomes Systems (DESOS) report is now available. Compiled by Teresa Grossi, director of Strategic Developments at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, DESOS is a web-based, data collection application that creates empirically-based insights to guide legislators and their staff, state policymakers, and local service providers. The data is collected by the IIDC in partnership with community rehabilitation providers, Vocational Rehabilitation, and the state Developmental Disabilities agency.

Fifty-nine service providers submitted data for 9,775 individuals. Among the highlights in the latest DESOS report, which was compiled during the pandemic, the survey reveals a six percent decrease in sheltered employment. Employees operating in sheltered work received an average wage of $3.16 per hour, whereas the 22 percent who held individual jobs earned an average hourly rate of $9.80.

For more information about the DESOS report or to download the complete report, visit the IIDC publications webpage.
