Analysis of Minority-Status Supported Employees in Relation to Placement Approach and Selected Outcomes.

Wilson, Philip G.; And Others

Mental Retardation, v29 n6 p329-33 Dec 1991

This study of employment outcomes of 869 Illinois supported employees, primarily with mental retardation or mental illness, found that minority-status employees were younger, had higher intelligence quotients, and earned more wages per month than did nonminority supported employees. Few differences among minority subgroups (African American, Hispanic, Asian) were identified. (Author/JDD)
