on the low labor force participation rates for people with 
disabilities; the use of and satisfaction with programs that prepare 
people with disabilities for employment; the work history, barriers to 
employment, and workplace accommodations reported by persons with a 
disability; and the effect of financial assistance programs on the 
likelihood of working. Since the supplement was last collected in 2019, 
work patterns have changed, policies have changed, and assistive 
technologies have advanced due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
