This volume in The SAGE Reference Series on Disability explores issues facing people with disabilities in employment and the work environment. It is one of eight volumes in the cross-disciplinary and issues-based series, which incorporates links from varied fields making up Disability Studies as volumes examine topics central to the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. With a balance of history, theory, research, and application, specialists set out the findings and implications of research and practice for others whose current or future work involves the care and/or study of those with disabilities, as well as for the disabled themselves. The presentational style (concise and engaging) emphasizes accessibility. Taken individually, each volume sets out the fundamentals of the topic it addresses, accompanied by compiled data and statistics, recommended further readings, a guide to organizations and associations, and other annotated resources, thus providing the ideal introductory platform and gateway for further study. Taken together, the series represents both a survey of major disability issues and a guide to new directions and trends and contemporary resources in the field as a whole.

Unemployment and Government in Twentieth-Century America
Redefining the way we think about unemployment in America today, this title offers devastating evidence that the major cause of high unemployment in the United States is the government itself.
Amidst the current debates on the future of welfare, one voice has been conspicuously absent: that of the unemployed and underprivileged. This book addresses the work of history and an anecdotal window onto America's past, in the days before FDR's New Deal.
Describes how social and sexual disparities between men and women are the result of economics. This book argues that the position of women as the property of men and their inability to earn in proportion to the amount of work they do, tend to the differences between men as 'providers' and 'competitors' and women as 'helpless' and 'unproductive'.
