Abstract

This study analyzed longitudinal employment data collected from South Carolina disability service agencies to determine which individual and agency characteristics are predictors of re-employment for individuals with mental retardation. Reasons for job loss in this population were also explored. While 1198 individuals (72.5% who worked in 2001 remained employed in 2002, 455 workers (27.5% did not sustain employment the following year. The most frequent reasons reported for job loss in these individuals included job performance problems (28.1%, a decision to quit on the part of the employee (21.9%, health problems (10.9%), and employer lay-offs (10.9%. Only 38 percent of individuals who experienced an interruption in employment in 2002 successfully regained employment in 2003. Individual and service agency characteristics, including race, agency size, and use of a job coach, were found to be significant predictors of re-employment for these individuals.
