Kessler Foundation n-TIDE
Project Description:
Since 2013, Kessler Foundation and the University of New Hampshire's (UNH) Institute on Disability (IOD) have issued "National Trends in Disability Employment (nTIDE) custom reports and complementary webinars covering employment data for Americans with and without disabilities.
nTIDE is a joint project co-authored by John O'Neill, PhD, director of the Employment and Disability Research Center at the Foundation and Andrew Houtenville, PhD, professor of economics and research director, UNH-IOD.
On the first Friday of every month (with rare exceptions), nTIDE experts release a data analysis report based on the monthly jobs report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). nTIDE experts compare key economic unemployment indicators for working-age people (16-64) with and without disabilities, including:
• Labor Force Participation Rate – the rate of how many people are actively employed or looking for work compared to the total population
• Employment-to-Population Ratio – the percentage of people who are working compared to the total population
In conjunction with each nTIDE report, experts host a 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (ET) Lunch & Learn Webinar via Zoom featuring in-depth analyses and guest speakers who discuss current disability-related findings. The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) provides legislative updates on disability and highlights current programs on a monthly basis.
