Remote work is creating new opportunities for all jobseekers, but especially so for older adults with disabilities, according to a new study.

 

Researchers from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College (CRR) found that between 2018 and 2022 there was an 11.6 percent increase in telework employment for people with disabilities between the ages of 51 and 64. In fields where remote work is not possible, employment opportunities for disabled workers were essentially flat during that period.
