Supported versus sheltered employment: Cumulative costs, hours worked, and wages earned

Abstract

This paper examined the costs of services received and outcomes obtained by 112 supported and sheltered employees. Overall, sheltered employees received services for longer periods (M = 72.92 months v. 44.91 months) as well as worked more hours per month (M = 65.68 v. 58.95) than supported employees. However, supported employees on average generated fewer cumulative costs (M = $22.406 v. $45.840) and earned more wages per month (M = $390.96 v. $164.79). Supported employees also had lower cost per hour worked (M = $11.15 v. $15.04) and cost per dollar earned (M = $2.01 v. $11.38) ratios.
