It absolutely is. I’m a disabled (technically, but not in any meaningful way) veteran, and you’d best believe that the first time I decided to mark those two boxes on job applications, my callback rate skyrocketed.

Please see my answer to someone else - "My message was specifically about the Yellow Ribbon Program, not if DEI includes people with disabilities.".

I assume that you're USA-based. Is there any chance that there're any state-sponsored programs for employers hiring people with disabilities?

I do still see a large difference between: - giving companies some benefits to cover the additional costs of having a disabled person working for them

vs

- requiring 40% women quota in board of directors: https://www.imd.org/ibyimd/diversity-inclusion/women-on-euro...

Again, my original statement was about what the JD Vance program is and what is not.
