US Pushes Target for Hiring the Disabled

This idea is interesting, though controversial.  The government seems to be trying to create incentives for the hiring of disabled Americans by having a policy that could remove government contracts from companies that do not have the required employment rate (7%) of disabled to non-disabled workers.  There are questions as to whether this violates the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act or is progressing the 1973Rehabilitation Act.  But one reason I think the government has this policy is to successfully reincorporate veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan into the workforce, because when veterans returned home from Vietnam in the late 1960s and early 1970s most faced discrimination in the workplace.
