That's good though isn't it? The more employers start seeking competitive advantage in hiring disabled people, the narrower the pay and employment gap will become.
Not necessarily. Prison labour, sweatshops, and undocumented workers are all types of "competitive advantages" as well.
A company that has a history of treating folks well? Yeah, this might be their advantage. But Amazon has stories of employees not being able to use the toilet while on the clock. I'm just hoping they at least pay folks the same.
It's more likely that they use it to depress the wages of abled workers. This sort of unskilled labor isn't exactly scarce enough to cause meaningful competitive pressure like you describe.
The US is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. If we want to make providing disabled people with fulfilling jobs that pay a good wage a priority, we are entirely capable of accomplishing that.
This statement is so full of naivety. The type of stuff I might have thought when I was 16 and didn't know how a country becomes (and stays) wealthy in the first place.
