A recent University of Guelph study shows Canadian university students with disabilities face disproportionate barriers to employment after graduation.
According to study co-author Brad Seward, unemployment rates are twice as high among graduates with disabilities and those who do succeed at finding full-time work earn an average of $4,000 to $6,000 less per year than students without disabilities.
