EMPLOYMENT AN EQUALIZER FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES NYSID collaborates with its statewide membership of disability service providers to advance economic security for thousands of individuals each year.
The NYSID program generated $108 for every hour worked by an individual during 2024, which amounts to more than $400 million in economic impact. This is substantiated by the Rockefeller Institute of Government’s report on the fiscal and societal impact of employment on NYSID contracts. Access the full Rockefeller Report at www.rockinst.org.
