The report was compiled by the National Future of the Workforce Task Force, which brought together state policymakers, researchers, and subject matter experts to examine strategies to increase access and inclusion for people with disabilities regarding advances in automation and technology, the rise of the gig economy, and the changing nature of apprenticeship. • Read "The Future of the Workforce: Approaches to Increasing Access & Inclusion" report • Learn about SEED State Disability Employment Policy The National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL), a partner of the State Exchange on Employment & Disability (SEED), published an interactive webpage summarizing state legislation enacted during 2019 that affects employment opportunities for people with disabilities. NCSL identified 102 bills from 36 states that directly relate to policy options identified in the SEED "Work Matters" report.
