Did you know?
When deaf adults secure full-time employment, their median annual earnings are on par with hearing workers (matching at $60,000), proving that the barrier is rarely about capability or output value. Instead, the challenge lies in systemic hiring hurdles and a persistent employment gap of over 15 percentage points between deaf and hearing adults. Furthermore, due to traditional workplace barriers, deaf professionals are significantly more likely to turn to self-employment and business ownership (10.6% vs. 9.1% for hearing adults) to carve out their own economic opportunities.
