Tackling High Unemployment Rate for Disabled

“People touched by disabilities represent a large percentage of the unemployed population in America. These are individuals with the talent and the motivation, but often require jobs that are flexible and accessible - jobs that meet their unique lifestyles,” says founder, Dr. Glen House. “The Disaboom Marketplace Opportunity Broker program offers people touched by disability the unique opportunity to be employed on their own terms. They can work from their home, when they are able, and sell as much or as little as they’d like.” To date, more than 350 Disaboom members have signed up to become Marketplace Opportunity Brokers or MOB team members, and this freelance sales force continues to grow daily. “This is really historic: a job with an online community that in turn helps the community itself,” states House. “People touched by disabilities are looking for a resource where they can find businesses that understand their preferences and purchase decisions, and Disaboom’s Marketplace serves as a one-stop shop, whether it is for adaptable equipment or just dinner and a movie.”
