We, Deaf America could use the Labor Department workforce statistic data to expose the underemployment of qualified deaf individuals within the management level of video relay service companies and professional organizations serving the deaf.
From what more and more interest groups fishing out reliable information datas from several federal agencies against publicly-traded companies.

While I am all for fixing the underemployment of the deaf and hard of hearing in the workforce, my main concern is, and always will be, are they the best person for the job? I could care less if they are deaf, hearing, white, black, hispanic, etc, as a manager, I simply want to see the BEST person in each position.

Eddie,
ReplyDeleteI wholly agree with you, but we must put the pressures upon the VRS companies to hire more "truly qualifed and comptent" deaf individuals to be part of the management level. :)
