Career Trends for the Deaf and Deaf Employment in the U.S.

Unfortunately, deaf and hard of hearing individuals can face some difficulties when trying to find employment. Discrimination, ignorance of the general public, and a lack of access to reasonable accommodations has been a problem. Today, however, anti-discrimination laws and advocacy groups are working to make it easier than ever for the deaf community to get employed.

Before: Jobs for deaf were limited to mostly teaching the deaf.

Now the Deaf have many career options!!!

Some of the topics included in this powerpoint:
